Very nice looking bow. Great looking tiller.  The set probably due to bending while still green but great bow! You are tougher then me, I'd pop a vein pulling 70 lbs. Congratulations

Thanks Druid, Keenan. I was just shooting with it yesterday and it sure does fling an arrow, i'm surprised it doesn't respond more slugishly  ::)

Nice job, interesting looking bow. Only thing missing is the deer.

Real nice tiller on that bow Zion you really got those limbs bending and working , not surprised that it shoots well. I'm with the other opinions that it had to be to wet to take that much set but if it shoots well who cares because it is great looking bow.

Awesome tiller!  I wouldn't worry about that set.  If it shoots good and the early string tension is there, then that's where that bow will stay.  I bet it lasts you a long time.  Great looking bow.

Thanks all  ;D Yes i agree, this is a durable bow. Plus it's very hard to break OS in the first place.  ;)

Love the "raw" look of this bow, Z.  Simply gorgeous. 

Wonder what that bow would shoot like if it hadn't been drawn when wet and took this set?!?! 

Love it.

Thanks JW, Coaster.
i'm wondering the same thing. I have a 2" diam. OS stave all sealed up and clamped into some reflex. I'll let it sit like that for about a month and then let it season many months after that before i do too much work on it. I hope the results will be good.
