Will B:
Looks really good to my eye, JW. What draw length and weight are you shooting for?

I just went out and re-measured. Upper limb is 27" from nock to end of fade, lower limb is 26 1/4". Keeps messing with my head, but the yardstick didn't lie.

I wanted mid 40's at 26, but a moment of lapsed attention and I took too many scrapes on a limb and ended up with a bit of hinge. This is pulling about 30 lbs by my guesstimate.

Hey, you could try docking the tips about .5in. to 1in. on each end. That could probably bring you back up to 40 and you should still be safe on the draw length then.
