Hands down Ed thats my favorite bow of yours I have seen especialy after starting to read Karpos book & starting to see the technoligy & craftsmanship  it took to make it ,if I where you I would be real proud of it , congradulations she's a bute!!  I like the fact that it turned out as you planed with only 1/2 hour tiller time. Ler us know how you do with it at the end of the month ?

Thanks fellas...it's a quicky compared to the time consuming masterpieces in Adams' book.Not completely in love with the full draw profile really.Should be working yet more on the outers but it's done in my book for now.A favorite for a bit of time anyway.I'll shoot it throughout the summer.Maybe try to poke a deer or two with it later.0 issues of any kind throughout with it so should last quite a while.

That is one outstanding looking bow!  I love how you stained the belly.  That is some reflex on that baby!!

OK.....Thanks fellas.
Been shooting it most days yet.Took a slight more material off of the top limb for positive tiller.Top limb had a little more reflex than the bottom limb.It's back t 52#'s@ 28" again.Still gives the arrow 6" of set back after 6 hours of shooting.Well pleased with it.

That looks like a fast bow.  The skins look good on it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks Clint.As you know yourself with recurves they load up right off the bat drawing,but not overly much.This one is no different.My style of shooting is that through the aiming process I come to partial draw then pause then to anchor and release in one motion without  pausing.Pausing at the end gets me in trouble.

Ed, ya forgot the arra shelf ... again!    ;D

Stunning bow ... look forward to seeing it in less than couple weeks!

Bub .....Thanks.I'll be happy just to shoot a yearling or a doe but I suppose I'll hold out a bit for something with horns too.Should have you tiller this one for me......lol.Not enough set back on siyahs but will still make some kind of bow.Close to 50 pounds I think.

Knoll.....Thanks.I can never remember that.......lol.You shoot it too.I'll have a glove to be sure you don't knit yourself a feather quill in your knuckle.Personally it's never happened to me yet.Sometime I guess it will.
You bet Mojam.
