Thank you Mr. Burchett!  Much appreciated Sir!

Seminolewind-thank you for the kind words as well Sir.  More importantly thank you for your service!  The deflex bends are heated in.  With the setback handle and flipped tips, I doubt the bow could be braced without deflexing the limbs.  If you don't mind waiting a day or two, I'll get out my crayons and draw up some illustrations and explain the way I do it.  I'd do it now, but I gotta get rolling towards Alabama with a hot load.  Then on to New Orleans for a load to Kansas city.  Busy busy!  Josh

That 5 curve prairie rattler is the sexiest bow ever man ! I would like to see a tutorial. I have culls for bending in the curves myself but am curious mostly about the handle portion in order to get it to bend outward at the handle how is your basic handle design? Is it pretty thin? Do your 5 curve bows bend at the handle any ? Thanks !

How could any little girl NOT LOVE that bow!  Awesome!  It's the perfect thing to annoy a pesky big brother with.  At 15 lbs draw weight, it probably won't break skin from any reasonable range, ...but it could sure make 'em worry about it.   >:D >:D >:D

That bow is so elegant. Something about that shape bow is just so sweet. Good job!

Onebowwonder,

My son has an Osage 15 pounder I made him. I have no doubt that it could kill someone at just about any range he can shoot it. It worries me enough that if he is outside with it, his little sister is inside with me.

What you've made right there are some great memories for a little girl!  Outstanding work, well thought out, and it's girly to boot! Bulls eye!

That is one sweet little bow, I'll bet she will love it.  Heck if it were adult size I would not have a problem shooting it.  Make all the wheelie bow guys jealous.
