Looks great. You should post some close ups of the handle! Is it faster than your other one you just posted?

That looks pretty good man. looks like evenly distributed set too. If I were to offer any criticism, I'd say your lower limb is too weak, and the handle takes too much usable limb. Fix those on your next one and you should find it will be even better. Over all, I like it. You obviously have a good eye for even curves.

Thanks sleek. I agree about the handle but I had this idea to inlay an ambar colored sphere in the dip in the handle. I haven't done this yet but thats why I made it so big.

Jake. This bow is a little faster than the other. It's in the mid 170s. That's with 10 gpp. And also at 27 inches. I'm not sure what that means since the proper way is to measure to 28. I'm short though so thats where I shoot.

No that's good,,,just measure to the bows draw,,,there is really no standard for wood bows,..we get its shooting well at a shorter draw,,,I shoot 25 inches most the time and chrono at that draw,,,on some short bows I shoot at 20 inch draw,,,if I can do 150 at 20,,.I feel successful,,

I like that profile...great job.  I am curious about the grip though... close up of it please.  Oh, and my draw is 27" too, so that's perfect.  :)

Can we get an unbraced front profile view, and how wide is it?

Yup, that's the proper profile.  Whats your width, and what's your backing?

Thanks. It's a sweet little bow for certain. I like the artistic idea if inserting the ball in the handle, that's unique for sure. I'd say that's a decent speed for the bow. How much set has it taken when just unbraced?

Roughly an inch or. It walks back over night.
