Ken, what is boring about a nice bow? Looks nice from here anyway.

Nothing Boring about that at all!  Sweet looking and has a "make my day" look to it!

What, no levers? What the hell?? 

That's a nice lookin' bow Ken.  Boring is not an appropriate adjective.  I like the stain, looks very... um, rustic?

Boring?  Yeah...boring nice little neat holes in the target!  Another sweet bow, ken.

Ken, nice looking bow.  I like the ebony stain on hickory.  It gives it a slightly greenish tint.  Next time I use it I think I'll add a bit of green dye to it to see if I can "pop" the green a little more.

Nice, that grip looks good and I like the subtle blend into the stiffer tip.
Love to know how she chucks those arrows.

Wow, that is really my kind of bow. I really like the ultra naarrow tips and the subtle transition into the nonbendimg outer limbs, no excess mass here. Very well done and I think you will be pleased with the flight test results. The only thing I might have done differently is maybe a couple of inches more length so I could pull it behind my ear for those extra yards on the flight range. Anxious for your test results.    Kenneth
