it shoots 48# @ 29".
dont be afraid to give it a good pull.
hope ya get years of shooting outta that bow.

that stick of osage was somewhat of a challenge to work.
heres a pic of its profile soon after i started on it.

this was long before i got it worked down enough to do any heat correction on it
as you can see one end ws deflexed, one reflexed
i think considering the flow of the wood it turned out pretty good
