Nice bow, I do love a short bendy handle bow design.  Hickory backed ipe is a good combo, really strong stuff.  I've seen some super skinny bows made from that combo that generated lots of poundage.

That swingset in the background of the first picture really threw me off. I thought it was an arrow at first, and I couldn't figure out why it was stuck so much higher than your fist  :o

Really nice bow, and better luck on your next hunt.

cool bow.  I'd like to see a close up on the design on the back.
