  Wow !!!!!!!!   Rich  that's  so  cool  (and very nice of you)   I  wish  you  had  the  time  to write  up  the  details on  a  scallop  type  bows?  I  have  been  wanting  to  research  those,    do  the  scallops  help with  tillering??  do  they  stay  the  same profile?? do  you  shape  the  bow  that way  and  then  tiller?  but  any  way  good  job  and a  great  gesture!   JeffW

Thanks for the comments fellas

Adam, Jeff ....There is a pretty easy way to tiller even with scallops, if you are really interested get ahold of me or maybe a "scallop-along" eh?

Mike, .....no steam, sir that deflex is genuine "set"....real tricky to get that just right >:D Simple matter of not leaving enough meat in the middle....it was either loose weight overall or let it take the set. ya can see what my choice was. In all seriousness though it does have good string tension and does not have any issues of "getting worse" and is a pleasure to shoot so I just let her be.

Thanks pappy, appreciated.

Yes sir that is a beauty, the scallops are growing on me, and you definitely do them justice.  Love the authenticity and fine tiller.

That's a fine looking bow!  I love the scallops and the symbolism.  I recently read the account of that battle and I must say that is a fine commemorative.  Well done Rich!  Josh
