Got mine almost ready for long string, but keep getting distracted by more pressing projects.

ok here she is, finished out at 52 1/2" long, ~52#@27", huge knot in the top limb and sweet knot hole in the bottom, backed with 2 layers of muley and antelope sinew and some awesome eastern diamondback watersnake skins from cippy, right after about 100 shots she holds about 1 1/2" of reflex and then quickly goes back to 2 1/2", handle is beaver tail rawhide. so far i've put about 500 shots through her. cippy specifically asked me to enter the bow i put the skins on in the BOM contest so when i get that done you guys can see the fd shot and unbraced profile. hopefully i'll get it in the mail in a week or two.

Nice, that is a sweet one KD.  I've got #1 done and started 2 others.  I'll choose between the three when time draws near!
