Testing photo drop
Hopefully this works for better quality pics. I finally got to get a little more done and just got this bow at low brace. Figured I’d work on the heartwood one first as it’s the one I’m more suspect of. It came out of floor tiller pretty good. Still need some work on the outers I think and little scrape poss on the inner of the right limb. I figured I’d post these pics and see how they turn out and get to work on this one.

This is unstrung after a couple hours braced and pulling to 21”. My weight scale needs new battery so will have to update my draw weight. I think if I were to guess it’s around 48-50lbs right now at 20”. Bend looks pretty decent so far. I lost about 2-2.5” of reflex. I’m at about 2” reflex now. Will likley loose little more yet. Kinda what I was expecting to see with this one.
