the bow had a bit of back set ,, you can see it still holds a bit of that,, and the overall shape is a slight gull wing,, graceful I think,, I wish I had enough bows for everyone,,
I will try to do it again in the future,, really appreciate the positive response,,, I am looking forward to seeing pics with the new owner,, and hopefully a dead deer too sometime,, :D
  I forgot to take a braced photo but will do that,,

Very nice,

I really like the look of hickory, I just wish I had more to work with :(
I have HHB and ash to keep me busy though :)

ok the bow is 60 inches long
its pulling 55#@ 25
it will shoot a hunting weight arrow 170fps with a b55 string,,
its hickory with thin layer of sinew,, and holds just a bit of reflex,,
I will put a handle on it and take more pics full draw etc,, the sinew is painted with acrylic and I will spray a protective layer of poly over that,, it will hunt in the rain,,

I am not givinig the weight of the arrow,, who ever guesses closest to  the weight can have the bow,,
I will pay shipping,,
I will post winner sat at 12 my time,,
the bow could easy be tillerd to longer draw,,with the sinew backing I would say 28 ,, it might go more,, you could pull it to 26 or 27 without tiller if the weight was ok for you,,

I think post the weight you guess here,, unless someone has a better idea,,

just to be clear you are guessing the weight of arrow that shot the 170 fps,, ;D

Honestly I feel like I can calculate this, but that would be cheating. Id only need to know two things. The brace, and how much draw it has at the first inch of draw.

Sleek, you also may want the efficiency of the bow?

I can guess pretty well, probably 85%
