 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Pictures of the tips and handle are useful. Also pictures of the braced and unbraced profiles are useful.. This is another example of Jame's superior work and a real inspiration to anyone who would like to approach "this bar"
I got to draw back one of Jame's bows at Pappy's Cassic in TN last year.   I'll never forget it.
