I like it Manny! I'm getting to where I recognise guava grain when I see it.  ;) Looks like you heat-treated the belly.

That's a neat little bow. Hope you are able to work on some more bows soon!

Manny, you need to get that chrono so we can see how they shoot, You might stop by the paint ball store and see if they will let you test a bow there, Steve

Sleek but dangerous. The movie Casino Royale should have edited it in. Looking forward to seeing this again next week for March Self Bow of the Month.

Thanks, Manny.

That is a sweet little bow Manny.  Pretty good poundage too.  Justin

Very nice Manney.
Do you lose many arrows in the jungle you call a back yard?

Sweet bow Manny.  You and Tim Baker can have a narrow tip competition.  I think he got them down to 1/8" on one bow.  If I'm not mistaken, Jaro got down to 5/16" tips on a 130# bow.  You're rollin' with the best there.  Does it have any shock?

If that bow isn't fast, we all need to quit.
