Stickman, the handle is 4" with 2" fades, width is 1 1/4".  His draw length is 30"!! So I had to make sure the fades and handle could withstand the length of his draw.

Nice bend!  29" draw, way to get that thing pulling back!

The full draw picture looks beautiful. What does the bow look like unbraced?
