Thanks John!

Well I think I'm going to put some rawhide on the back of the this one. There is a few little spots on the back that I'm not liking. And something is telling me that it needs some rawhide.

I'm not too happy with the weight that the black licust molle came out at, at 35#. It shoots good, but I'd rather hit closer to my guys desired weight. It was a first in a way for me though. It had one good growth ring for the back, and the rest was about 90% crumbly early growth rings. The ring on ye back of te stave in the picture is the one I used. But the new one I've started is another black locust and it'll be a bendy handle. Right now it's pulling 55# at 13" draw. I'm thinking about flipping the tips when I go to heat treat it later. I want to get it pulled to 20-22" at that weight before heat treating and flipping the tips.

Here is my hickory stick with the rawhide on. I decided to heat treat it one more time before I backed it. It's thin goat rawhide with hide glue. It was pulling right at 54@20 before the heat and rawhide.
If it holds half the reflex I would be ecstatic! That is if I can get it braced!

Thanks fellas! I talked to JohnW today,  I think stringer grooves might be part of this bow now!

I can't wait to see how much reflex that bow hold Patrick. It's going to be an awesome arrow flinger.
