27" draw ...... must be a big fella, like his pawpaw! That bow design and draw weight is my vision of perfect.

As has been commented, the maple is lovely on handle. And am liking it's shape. Looks comfortable, well proportioned, and perfectly symmetrical. Matching arrow rest good detail.

Tiller, to my ole eyes, looks awesome.

Congrats, sir!
