Gordan, your tiller profile is as perfect as I've seen. All your bows are spot on with the tiller and are easy on the eyes. I would say that the ole long beards in your neck of the woods are in trouble .   Danny

Thank you all for the really nice compliments.

Brock, I used a form and dry heat to flip the tips a bit.

Tim, all the pictures were taken outside mid-afternoon. Normally I take pictures in the morning or late afternoon, but I had a hazy overcast that kept the light nice and soft.

ohma, I'll send you a PM with Ron's contact info. When it comes to native American beading and leatherwork you'll find no better than Ron.

Awesome Gordon,  Top quality as always and looks like the perfect hunting bow.  You nailed my favorite length of bow ;D   Hope your able to get on some turkeys with it here in a month at the gathering. Looking forward to see it up close.

Thank you Jeff.

Thank you Keenan. I do intend to arrive at the Gathering a few days early to get some hunting in before the bow-building starts to crank up. Sounds like you're feeling fit enough to attend? I would sure love to see you there.

I am jealous of such a nice bow and your ability! But I am also glad that I am not the turkey or deer standing on the other side of that bow!

I'd say it's quite fancy in it's simplicity! Really nice bow!

   Great job as usual Gordon, looks like you could kill more than a turkey with that bow. I have really gotten where I prefer these straight self bow designs with just a tad of reflex thrown in.

Steve, I was shooting it this morning and was impressed with the arrow pentration I was getting. I wouldn't hesitate taking a shot at an elk under 20 yards with this bow.

Thank you all for your nice responses.

very nicely done. simple and effecient, I like it a lot. I was out at the flats on thursday, starting to green up didnt see any turkey tracks, but thought I heard a couple in the distance, they should be in there by the time of the gathering, looking forward to seeing this bow.
