Thxs guys!im always changing the front profile and trying to judge by deformation.this foot print is almost self tillering when the mass is close to equal. No big surprises ,usual minor set in the outward limb portion and high string tention.i also like the larger handle as my hands are quite wide and it just feels more natural .the stave is white/American elm.top shelf bow wood in my opinion .

I might add this was Dutch elm infected when I cut it and it displayed some odd almost rainbow colors under the bark.it proven good bow worthy.
