You are correct blackhawk it would be. ;) and more than likely a big silly grin to boot!! Once again,  awsome presentation on a very nice bow ;D

you are such a dork, LOL very nice bow though... impressive speed for such a short draw and arrow weight... Love the skins and finish work on her as well.  :) :)  You could probably lose a little thickness to the outer limbs towards the tips a little and make it even faster if you wanted but with those numbers I think I would leave it the heck alone.. Again nice work!  :)

Thanks Jawge ;)

Thanks again soy

Thanks josh...yeah I know im a dork..lol :laugh: but as long as I amused you then I did my job...right? And you are correct with the sides of the outer limbs as I came in two ounces heavy according to the mass formula. But sometimes there are cases where you have to have it that way due to knots and other deformities etc...  as was the case with me having to go around a knot and a couple checks. And yeah I left it alone and let her be when I saw those performance numbers. She's perfect the way she is for a hunting bow.  8)

Well I guess I'm the gullable one...

Went outside to see if it was raining bows here in Houston...
After two near misses by Pigeon Poo I got back under cover to the safety of the work bench.

Excellent looking Yeller Stick ya got there!
May her string never break and her arrows fly true!

Thanks Keenan  :)....means a lot coming from a great builder such as yourself. I like this design and profile and im gonna keep playing with it. It optimizes speed for us short draw guys ;)


Thanks druid. ....thanks again josh.....thanks eric...thanks gregb

Thanks del. Remember you need to break that barrier with a 24" draw and a slightly over 10 grain per pound arrow,so the twister yew wont qualify :laugh:lol. Thanks again ;) and keep trying


Sorry to hear the houston forecast isn't raining bows Gus :-\  thanks for the kind words man ;)
