Thanks  Ed! Your bows are awesome. I'm working on a plan to get my first bow to hold good reflex after its shot in. I've had them take an inch of set and also unbrace profile to stay flat. But not one has had a noticeable reflex at rest.

Oh yea they'll take set alright Pat.If evenly tapered/floor tillered/reflexed a bit more and tillered they should take set evenly and overall if any.I don't get in an all fired hurry doing my bows.I examine them a lot over night while watching TV seeing certain little places that need attention.Not every one is like that but some sure are.

Your right bud,  I like to be really picky with my bows too. From time to time I get stuck on one little spot but I normally get it all lined out in the end.

Of course sinister is just Latin for left handed.  Which one of you shoots goofy foot?

Jon was showing that around at OJAM while it was still in the unfinished stage. It looked pretty good then but it's looking REALLY GOOD now.
