Thanks for the encouragement. It helps to hear advice from the pros.

Looks pretty good but I seem to detect a stiff area on the outer 3rd of the right limb.

I'd shoot it and see how it feels, perhaps several times  ;D

Thanks again guys. After further review I tend to agree with Eric. Outer limb on the right isn't bending much but Its not taking set and it shoots good so I dont know. ??? I think Im gonna work it just a little more ;D     Jesse

Jesse, don't go getting picky on us now, that bow is looking good. I'm with the crew on this one and as the Beatles sang " Let it beeeee, let it be, let it beeeee let it be. Seeking words of wisdom let it beeeee".  lol   Danny

I'm with Eric,look good but if you need to loose a little weight I would work on the right limb just a bit.Very nice so far.You still have 3 inches to go,what is the weight now ? :)

Jesse, I don't remember what weight you were after...you're probably around 56# or so now at 28". If that is the close to the weight you're after, I'd leave it alone at this point. Also keep in mind that you'll probaby lose a couple of pounds shooting it in... ;)

Greg I will be happy with 50# @ 28 on this one.   My draw is more like 27" and I usually like more poundage  but I have a feeling this bow might end up in someone else hands ;)    Jesse

I don't see a problem with leaving it like it is,I just thought if you still had some weight
you could touch up that limb. :) How that gal doing ? Getting big I bet. :)

My advice is to stop makin' bows that look so perfect.....it ain't natural.
