Sweet looking bow Chris.   Congrats on pulling it off.  It would be cool to have several sets of limbs for it

Very nice bow Chris.  Those screw caps looks like a couple mushrooms growing out the back  :)

Thank you very much everyone! It was a fun, but slow build. I didn't exactly tear into it. I had to think through a lot of it as it was all new to me. And I used 95% hand tools for that riser, that wood is HARD. I had a slight tick in the upper locating pin, but it has went away after several hundred shots. Just needed settled I guess.

It will be there for sure Matt. I made up some boo arrows for it and shot them last night, they are like missiles out of this bow. I may have found me a hunting rig for this season.

Wow what a great looking bow.  I love those snakeskins and the fades on your riser.  One of the best looking bows I have seen!  Great job.

Wow what a nice job. An wonderful parts list from a great community! Are those antler caps white tail? Cheers- brendan

They are whitetail with hoof prints in them. I cant tell if they are cast or real. I didn't really look close either. I just glued my bolts in with MT-13 and used them!
