I love it, like you said simple and elegant.  Where were the Powhatan located?

I see you've got the verniers.

Hey Del, I knew a guy who had Verniers once. Said he got them overseas. Not sure, but Penicillin takes care of it. ;D ;D ;D

 Very nice and simple, Marc. I'm working on a similar one out of Iron wood. It's nice to go simple for a change.
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Simply awesome.  That string is great and that's about the most elegant D bow I've seen.  I love how maple shoots, I'm a big fan!

Thanks guys.  I shot the bow many times and it shoots really well.

The Powhatan were/are located in the Virginia area
