Handle looks familiar. Rest of it looks good!

  That came out sweet, great job holding the profile. That would make a great 50# broadhead shooter at the flights.

  • If the wood will bend, I'll make it beautiful!

Thats a sweet one right there. Awesome full draw!
What type of process did you use to bend your tips?  I'm wanting to make one like that myself.

Looking sharp :)
Did you put the deflex in the fades? That's what I do with bows like this now.

I reduce my tips down to at least 7/16" thick X ~1" wide  and on one ring along the belly,steam for 30 mins +,and then make the bend all at once over a form clamped nearby the heat source,and i dont use straps on the belly when bending it over. Works for me...your mileage may vary....thanks!!!  ;)
