Another gorgeous bow Ryan! But the scenery? Ah, just looks like home. Nothin special. Can't see it today though. Too foggy ;D ;D ;D

That's pretty. I don't know how to pull and shoot a 25" draw bow.

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

Looks great!  The bend is super pretty.  I have a quick question about handle design: is there a reason to build the handle up on the back of the bow like that rather than the belly?  I'd think adding material to the belly side would put that little bit of additional distance between the working limb and the string when at full draw, adding a tad more zip to the shot.

Thanks for the kind words guys  :)
No doubt I make alot of yew recurves, its my favourite style to make with the wood I have at my disposal  ;)
Academonicon- I like to build up cork on the back for how it feels in the hand. On some flatter handle bendys I'll build up the belly a bit too.
                       I measure draw length to the back of the bow, and that measurement doesnt really change no matter how I pad the handle.

Cool bow goat. That looks like it will be right up Chucks alley.

Having shot this bow I think it should be moved to the flight bow page. I'll post results when I get it out to the salt flats
