I have been lurking around on this site for some years now and asking your advice picking your brains for help and thought its about time I finally let you see what your advice has helped me with. This is one of many bows I have built since 2005 and is one of my favorites. It is a BBI pyramid D bow, 55lbs at 27", 61" NTN, 1 3/16" at handle tapering down to just under 3/8" at nocks. No fancy finish on this one, just a yearly hunter here in the California humidity and she shoots really nice with my 618 gr arrows. Hits hard and where you point no problem. Took her out hunting today behind my house and belly crawled within 40 yds of some really nice CA mule deer bucks looking for does. The rut is on here and if it weren't for all the growth we have with the passing rains I might have had a shot at some of them. After a 3 hour stalk and crawl and another 2 hour repeat I crawled out of there so as not to disturb them and will try again before first light tomorrow. Any pointers on the bow will be greatly appreciated. Thank every one of you who have spent your time answering my questions and helping me to make some pretty nice hunting bows.
