ELB for Thesquirrelslinger...
« on: June 28, 2013, 06:56:13 pm »
Ok, here is your bow squirrelslinger. It is a maple purple heart hickory trilam, 72 1/4" from nock to nock, and pulls a nice 61# @ 28", as you were wanting, :). String is linen, finish is pure tung oil. Ended up keeping about 1/4" or so reflex, and shoots pretty good actually, hope you like it!

 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thanks a lot! I like it!
Its perfect.
what are the tips? Its amazing, it looks like a bow I would dream about(and never even hope to get!) and drool over, but I know that I will be seeing it in person soon! I think I know what I will be shooting for a while once I get it!

It looks like you are definitely getting the hang of those tri-lams!! ;)
