Thanks so much guys, I appreciate the comments.  I'm starting to shoot this one more now and I'm very happy with how fast it is for the DW!  I think the design is simple but that's kinda my style.  The elements are a result of a lot of trial and error of past bows and what I found suits my shooting best. 

@Chief: thanks! I'm very happy with the performance
@Joe: Thanks man!  That's probably the best compliment a guy can give.  I'm thinking this bow is my new 3d/small game bow but if you're interested in a similar one let me know.
@hunterbob: Thanks buddy
@sieddy: Thank you
@1CouesHunter: thanks man, I appreciate it
@Jawge: thanks man and thanks to the community for some tillering tips to get it there!
@johnfolchetti: thank you

Your handle design will be a cinch to put hand in same position shot after shot.   Congrats on a great looking stick!

Very nice lines, and finish.  The handle looks to be very comfortable. The bow I'm currently working on May end up with a handle that's similar.  :)
I like the arrow rest also,  did the bow end up to be center shot?
Well done!

@imjimmysticks: smooth as a baby's bottom!  thanks bud! ;)
@Knoll: thanks!  That's exactly what I go for with the handle.  I grip and release again and again until it slides right into the sweet spot.
@MWirwicki: Thanks, I appreciate it! 
@forest_Farmer: cool beans, can't wait to see it.  I've tried a lot of handle styles but I just love this type the best.  It feels awkward to shoot anything else at this point.  The string was centered but the shelf doesn't go quite to center.  I leave extra wood on to build the shelf so it's a little deceiving.  The bow was shooting a hair left (requiring a weaker arrow than I'd like) so I just heated the bottom limb and moved it over a tad.  Now it's flinging my 50-55 arrows straight down the lane!

PA hunter, thanks for the feedback on how to adjust to  center shot.  I was wondering if anybody would do post tiller heating and bending.
On the bow that I mentioned earlier  I'm trying to make it Center shot hope to finish it next week at the TN classic.  There Will be a lot of peopled there with a whole lot of knowledge,,,,,,a lot more than i have.   When I get it done,  and if it's worthy of It, i'll post some pics.
Thx,  Ed
