That's a beauty. Ever have any issues with the string pulling up scale flaps?

Think you can get full draw Clint?

I don't know.  There is only one way to find out  ;)  ;)  ;)

Very cool little bow, Pearlie. You got every bit out of that bow.  8)

Very nice.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

That is an amazing little bow. I've been working on a horse bow on and off for 6 months now.  You've inspired me to get back on it.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I enjoyed this build, it was fun and nerve wracking at the same time.

I can see now why 26" didnt feel good when I pulled it that far, my string angle goes beyond 45 degrees and the bow "stacks" as a result. 25" is actually darn near full draw, my elbow is a tad high.

Thanks for the hair and fur bub! You da' man!

Nice job, Chris! She looks sweet!! :)

That is one nice deer slayer you got there.  I like your idea with splitting the WDB.  I'll have to try that one of these days.  Great job!
