Thanks guys, Yes I like the simple ones as well. That was the concept for this bow. How siple can it get!

With no nocks and no mass beyond the string there is ZERO hand shock and no noise. Its a great bow.

I have to say though that the back is not exactly toasted like you would toast a belly.....a much milder treatment was used to achive some color variation. Not allot of heat.

Very nice bow and only 68" long on a 32" draw. That's quite an accomplishment

That is my favourite type of hunting bow. Beautiful job. Im sure it'll impress the deer!
How wide at its widest point?

I too commend your bravery on toasting the back even though it's light dose...Bow looks real good..
