I don't know yet since I only shot it a long time ago, back when it was like 50 pounds. I've been reducing it down to a more manageable draw weight but I haven't been able to take it to a range yet. I'll reduce the width a bit more till its maybe 30 pounds and then take it to the range. my goal for this bow was to make a paddle-shaped bow like the Ishi / west coast bows that you shoot with your thumb and which rotate in your hand.

The tiller looks excellent.
I am just wondering why the handle area is so large.
Is the stave at  full draw?
