Awesome work!  I am curious to see how far it shoots that 560 grain arrow too.  It looks like it ought to be a sweet shooter to me.   You are churning out some fine bows.

Impressive work Beadman, looks like a great bow. Just getting a bow to pull to a 32" draw without breaking or taking excessive set can't be easy, much less doing it and keeping a good tiller all the way as well. I make most of mine for my short 24" draw and get nervous trying to tiller one out to 28" for someone else. I'd probably be like you friend and duck every time you pulled that thing past 30" on the tillering tree.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Yes I would like to see how far it shoots too.I've gotten to talk to Tom about it.He's got a range finder from shooting his compound.I figure on this rough ground here with plenty of distance we could shoot.I could go find the arrow and Tom could get a reading on me.His range finder will go to 400 yards.Should be enough.I'll get back to you guys what happens.
Badly Bent.....Most all my bows I tiller to 29".You kinda get used to it I guess.

Great bow. I'll take inspiration from it (translated:I'll do my best to make a copy  >:D)

I also love that badger quiver!

Well GlisGlis I don't know ya but thanks.There's a lot of bows out there to be made that's for sure.If you like shooting those longer bows and like the smoothness you won't be disappointed.
