But......this yew stuff is easy on the arms and tools. Im sure it will be my "old man" wood, God willing.

It does well at 50# Don. I was shooting some 680 grain sourwoods last night at 30-35 yards for fun. Those suckers SLAMMED that target. I have some 480 grain barrel tapered cedars from Warpath that scream from it as well.

I really like the way you attached the nock "overlays". That looks really killer.

Real easy to do Jackson. A flat rasp and Loctite Professional is all I use. Rasp the tips off on a suitable angle and keep the rasp FLAT. Be sure the surface is flat, don't sand it, and glue your overlay down. Wait 15-20 minutes and shape it.

Wow man.  Great job.  That thing looks like a screamer.  Love it.  Was that the one in the rafters? Sure did turn out great

Woof.  That thing is clean.  Glad to see you got some sun but didn't get singed!
That bow is really just perfectly pretty, Chris.  Great one!

I am! I can back a bow with sinew easier and cleaner than I can a hard backed bow.
