Rick, I hope you don't mind, but now that you have it I thought I'd post a full draw pic of your bow before I sent it off.  It's complete with the fat old bowyer so you can put a face with the name (and I can put the bow in BOM). ;)



The bow is 65" n2n, 55#@ 28", though I'm only drawing 27" there.  I hope it shoots well for you.  Because of bend in the stave (and my inability to heat it all out) the string lies nearly on the edge of the handle making it center shot.

Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

No sir! I dont mind at all!  It shoots like a dream. You were right about the brace height,a couple twist and it will be perfect.Im really proud to have this bow,Im still a rookie at building and hope to be as good a bowyer as you and the rest of you guys!I think it will get my vote for BOM! I love the arrowhead,unfortunately stone points are illegal to hunt with here,but i will still mount it and shoot it at my target,,at least once!  Thank you again! your a good man,(dont care what the other fellers say)  !!

that's a sweet full draw George, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

You're a lucky archer to get that bow Rick! Fine work George!  Country,  man that is nice!  I love the tiller, the artwork is cool to.  From what I can see on my little phone screen anyway.  Josh

    I've been haunting the post office almost every day lately, thinking I might have a package there. Finally, today I got a notice that there IS a package for me to pick up. Naturally, this is a long weekend and there's nobody there to give me my package until Tuesday!
    Oh, well, I've waited this long (sigh). Can't wait to see what it is and if it's from this swap or the TG swap. It doesn't really matter, all the bows in both swaps look fantastic.
If I knew what I was doing, I'd probably be bored with it, and I wouldn't be here.
