It would be nice to see it at a really full draw.
Upper limb looks a just a whisker stiff to me... (just my opinion based on how I tiller 'em arc of a circle)

Druid - I never weighed a bow before, but just for you I dug out a food scale. The bow weighs 810 grams (that's just over 1 3/4 pounds on this side of the pond). Osage is very dense wood with specific gravity of 0.80. Love the way these long limbs shoot a heavy arrow, wish I could pull it farther.
ill pull it farther for you ;)


Settle down fishy i can see your grin from here ;D nice looking big stick shaun!
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...
