Looks nice. Lots of sweet bows coming from Clint's staves lately.

Nice bow Joe. My similar bow is braced right around 6 1/4" as well.

Good job Joe. If you're tickled then it's a success.

Looks good. I brace on the high side apparently also. I couldn't even begin to shoot a bow braced at 5"

Nicely done young feller! Nothing wrong with your brace height.

The short feathers must be skewing the pic. I use about 6" brace as well. Looks real good! with that riser you will likely find it very forgiving for a wider range of spine. You could also use a lot less fletch and get the speed up without affecting your accuracy.  But the bow looks great and the rest is just tweeking.

Thanks I think it's just the pics making it look like a foot brace height

Looks fast  8) great tiller and finish,.

 Pappy

Thank you pappy !!

Your workmanship is improving...looks like a shooter to me :)

Thank you blackhawk I'm gettin better

Looks good! Well done!
A suggestion, hope you don't mind:
You could get much more speed:
>lower the brace height to max 5"
>make a new string from BCY 452X, take 2x3 strands (that's enough), strengthen it at the ears with 2 pieces of B50 about 6 " long
>don't use silencers, when not hunting bow
>don't use 4 feather fletching, when not hunting bow

Thank you Simpson I appreciate the advice

Looks good Joe, also looks like you have a great place to stump shoot out back.

Thank you I actually have to drive a ways to get out there. But it's worth it
