BJ - Yes, the handle would suit a left handed shooter well but the string centers perfect at the arrow pass location and cast a
clean arrow for me shooting right handed. I found out quickly that I had to pay attention and shoot with a bit of a bent
wrist to avoid string slap due to that snake at the grip area though.
Marlen- Yes, the handle wrap is raw hide. Also put some cork under it at back & belly side to fill out the grip some.
May take it over to a friends house today and shoot with him in his barn, we were going to hit a 3D shoot this weekend but have had almost non stop rain for 2 days now. I'm a bit surprised at how accurately this bow shoots at closer ranges in spite of it's short length and snakey profile. Of course it could be the lower draw weight working better for me or it could be that thing where the most recent bow you've made seems great at first and then becomes somewhat mediocre in your eyes later.
Thanks for the kind remarks fellas, very much appreciated.
