superdav95:
That looks great pat! That finished out very nice.
Aksel:
I like that bow!
Pat B:
Thanks, Guys. I still think the outer limbs should bend more. I've always had troubles seeing and achieving proper tiller with R/D style bows. I think the full draw shape should follow the lines of the deflexed handle area forming a more circular bend at least to the last 6 or so inches from the tips. I think these stiffer outer limbs is causing more hand shock than necessary. I may revisit this problem. She's at 44#@26" now so I can afford to loose a little weight but if necessary I could pike the tips to even that back out.
airkah:
I'm in love with the handle on this one, fantastic craftsmanship!
Pat B:
Airka, James Parker did the glue up. All I did was shape the handle to my liking and added the rattan wrap...but thanks. :OK
