well i have been working on this bow off and on during bow season this year
now bow season is almost finished and so is this bow
its a nice little hickory bow
63" ntn,1.75" wide at the fades up to the last twelve inches then tapers to .25" at the string grooves
it pulls 54# @ 27"
it still needs to be shot in and have the tips finished up and some of my fav finish applied,tung oil
this might be next seasons spring turkey bow or i might find a better home for it(undecided as of yet)
any hoo hers a couple of pics for ya'll to look at

Now that's a good, durable hunting bow. All it needs is a bit of turkey blood on it to really set it off! 8)

Ken,ive been waiting to see if any would notice that ;D
