Wow! Super nice job! That is a freakin sexy bow! Nice whipping on the arrow too!

ETA: You might wanna try bringing your anchor point down lower when drawing, to more "across your chest" than up by your ear, it seems the muscles like it better, and you can get a longer draw with a heavier long draw bow.

Nicely done on a tricky looking stave.
Good looking tiller and it's great to see side nocks.

awesome job, that did look like a very tricky bow. thats a great bowyers mark. looks like runes, and elk tips?haha  a nice way to personalise your bow, giving it a sort of scandanavian accent shall we say. brilliant!

Thanks. My bowyers mark is the first letter in my first and last name. It looks lik runes. Yes. :D Elk antler is great for nocks. Very solid material. The bow is a perfect target shooter with 11/32 shafts in 55-60 spine at 28" draw. Works nice on long distance target shooting. 35-55 metres. The bow is also a very handsome flight bow with more heavy  ash shafts in 3/8. (standard arrows)
I love this bow. One of my favourite.
