Got a full draw photo?

Looks super, though I don't like a recurve handle on a long bow...Or a cut out either...JMHO...

The pyramid looks great to me, but seeing a full draw would be helpful as a pyramid design has a specific tiller shape...  :D

Oh yeah, and what kind of wood you got there?

Yes Ed it came in at 27 oz. I think most of the extra weight is in the big handle and midlimb to fades. Mid-limbs are 1-1/4 wide . That's my normal midlimb on Osage 9-1/2 " handle. Arvin

  hard to believe that bow is not fast, waiting for the full draw shot.
