Looks like a fun bow to handle.  Nice weight for the length.

This is a riparian whitetail hunter and well made. Bookmarked for May Self BOM, too.

Real nice... I'm making an experimental bow at the moment ony 50" long, dunno how far I'll dare draw it.
Your 26" draw looks plenty, and the whole bow is working nicely, decent draw weight too. V nice.
