I just watched your videos over the last two days building this bow and just now put two and two together.  Really cool.  Its funny, it kinda looks different on PA!  Anyhow, really cool design.

Man....that is some serious bend in such a short area. That is a very cool bow. I too was concerned about compression issues with such minimal working limbs. Very, very well done.   Danny

Nice one, I agree the Carp skins are gorgeous I love it!  By the way I took a bow making class in Friendship Indiana last week and the instructor said its imossible to make a bow pull 29" unless its 77" long! I knew I should have asked for a refund and ran righ then!

Awesome pictures Mike, I hope mine comes out half as good. Glad I found this post on here. Nice to see some good pics of it. I have been building one to match it that is 68" n2n by following your build along.  Patrick

Man that is one sweet bow! I am going bowfishing for carp in a few weeks and was wondering if the skins are good for anything. Well I got a great answer from this thread
