Pat B:
Once I get everything lined up and the twist remover I'll get the final shape of the tips. The last 6" of the tips will be rigid.

Still watching Pat. Looking good so far.
Pat B:
I'm having trouble with the lower limb tip wanting to twist laterally. I need to work on that now. The tiller is ok other than that. She's at 47#@26" now.
Pat B:
Well, it's about time... ;D
Got her all done and she shoots well, is light in the hand and is whisper quiet. She's 65" t/t and pulls just over 44#@26". I didn't add tip overlays and only have side nocks coming around to the belly. The handle wrap and floppy rest is commercial elk hide with mink string silencers. I did a sunburst dye job on the back with medium brown Fiebings leather dye. I've put about 50 arrows through her and like I said she shoots quite well.
Here are a few pics. I'll post a full draw later today...

Love it! Very nice. I really like the contrasting light Colors of the elk handle wrap and stain job. I may have to steal that idea🌝
