I finally got around to finishing the last of the 4 bbi blanks that I got from knightd last spring. This bow is pretty light, but still suprisingly fast and a real pleasure to shoot. The riser wood consists of marble wood, shedua, cannary, a wood we're not sure of and an osage power lam. This bow was made from one of David's high reflex/deflex blanks. I used cocobolo for the tip overlays, and two different shades of brown leather dye to do the back of the bow. The bow is about 60"ntn and 43#@28", but with the help of one David's wife's fast flight strings it still spits out a 430gn. arrow at 160fps. That's with the string silencers and my clumbsy fingers for the release. I know that's not as much as David can get out of them, but it's one of my fastest yet. I apologize for a glare on some of the pics, but hope you enjoy looking anyway. Let me know what you think.
