Beautiful!!! That looks to me like it would be a very smooth shooting bow, with the right arrow of course. Its just one of those bows that I would love to feel in my hand!!! great job!!!

Very nicely done! Great tiller. Any idea what the mass is? If you can weigh it (in grams) that would be valuable info.

ADB, I will take a wildguess at about 600 grams or 20.5 to 21.5 oz.

That is my new favorite bow, great bow man. I'm making a similar one,  this just renewed my motivation to get it finished.


Wo.  THANKS dude.  "my new favorite bow"....that's humbling!  I can't think of a much better compliment.  I am honored.  Thank YOU!

You're good.  That's beautiful in every way.  I'm doing my first lever bow right now and was debating on reflexing the levers.  After seeing  yours I think I will.

Thanks man!  You should also look at blackhawk's posts.  He is the king of this design and you will see plenty more inspiration for sure.  His bows are insane!.

Great bow
exactly the one I'm planning to build. I like all. reflexed tips, z handle, colour... really good work

Thanks! It's definately my favorite bow to date.  Just got back from the range and it was so fun to shoot!

adb and Badger  THANK YOU!  - it's actually 22oz.  I think the fades near the levers could be reduced more or even the levers themsevles.  I trapped the levers and my original plan was to reduce them more but I chickened out.  will try it on my next one.

....probably could have done that all in one post.. :o


THANK YOU EVERYONE!   

Further satisfaction came earlier today when shooting at the range with my daughter and bro.  I recently finished up a set of arrows spined at 50-55 left 31" and they match this bow perfectly.  I was getting kill shots left and right!!!  It was awesome!

Thank you EVERYONE for all the kind words!
