Cool!  looks great love the grain in the handle fades... Kinda hard to see the full draw picture but from what I can tell it looks great too.  This is your first bow???  wish my first turned out half as nice...  Love the tips too!   :)

Couldn't agree more ElD, YES very nice and well crafted bow, BUT, My over 50 eyes would like to see much clearer pics of those static tips and full draw.
Oh yea...Please...
