Fair.....LOL.It's all natural bud.I was talking of amount of set taken whereever it starts at.Just replying to your previous statement that you were trying for sinew like results.Which is sorta true but not really.The sinew is the issue here and does more work than what you realize even with horn on the belly.

I think I seen Pappy with the 'bow in the head horns' pose, long ago when he did a recreation of a Ryano recurve. 

Nice work on this one Chris,  I been contemplating putting some big ole curves into a plum stave... hmmm, you might have pushed me over the edge.

Nice job. Maybe someday I can make something half as good as that. Nice touch with the photos in the mountains.

Hard to top any of that.  The bow is a beauty, love the pics, the mountains and the family shot.  Special.

Sweet bow, Chris. Let's see...1st-selfbows, then-board bows, then-lam bows...aren't you headed down the road to FG??  ??? ;D

I know I gave Boardhawk a bad time on this one , and the pics are not helping him any
But  this young man has really put a ton into this bow !
There should be a comment from everyone on this forum by know !
If you get the opportunity to see this bow in person you will see the depth of skill that has gone into this bow  !
Folks this young man is truly a Bowyer !
An inspiration to us all !!
Glad to call him a friend !!
