Parnell, I like the 3" handle.  I'm not sure that I'll make any bows with a 4" handle.  The issue I had, was the sight window was a bit small with the bulbous handle design.  While shaping the bulb I moved it down about 1/4 of an inch.  Next time I will plan for the center of bulbous section to be a 1/4 lower.  That way I can keep a bit bigger and rounder.  But, by using the rawhide it ended up making up for the lost wood.

Jawge, Pappy thanks for you kind words.

Thanks Dana,Josh and mox.  I've been shooting it pretty much everyday since I finished.  Hopefully, I be ready.  My old bow was 50#.  It's amasing how much stronger a mere 7# feels.
