Looks like the lower limb is outbending the upper limb.

Thanks you gentleman for the kind words and encouragement.

Yes sir OldBow, I am afraid that you are correct. First circle in top limb is a double knot, and the other circles are just single knots. I wasn't really sure how to even out the bending without thinning the wood around the knots to much. Not entirely sure about the bow, that is why I did the linen backing. His draw length is twenty four inches, and in the photos I pulled to twenty eight inches. Figured it would either go or blow.

Gave my Grandson his new bow, arrows, and quiver. He is only twelve (tall for his age), and we attended his first 3D shoot at the Tannehill Pre Spring Arrow Fling, and we had a blast. He may be hooked on primitive archery for life, I know I am. Here are a couple photos, one at full draw, and in the other he is getting some coaching from Mark (AKA Hillbilly61).

yeah, he was behind us when I shot Saturday, I first noticed the quiver and said, "dang that looks really familliar".  Then I saw the bow and remembered.  He seemed really happy shooting it Saturday, and the bow really looks awesome in person... Good job, Lombard!   ;)

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah he was really stoked. Sunday morning at home, I could barely pick up my bow, but he just kept shooting and shooting most of the day.

   Dave   It was a pleasure shooting with your grandson and you. He was a very good student. Allot better than I am a teacher.  ;D I can tell you will be taking him to allot more shoots this year ;)  Sitting around our fire and talking bow was very relaxing and encouraging. Maybe Nick will learn to make works of art as you do. The pics don't do the bow justice. Hope to see ya again in the near future :)
