Thanks a bunch guys. 

Ritchie, those are pretty standard off my r/d form.  I normally try and slim them up to get a few extra fps, but I didn't on these.  I wanted them to be durable for my friends used to shooting compounds.

Ben, I love pretty much everything about those two bows. Building a bow like that is high on my one of these days bucket list.

Thanks for the compliments. 

I would say the recipients are happy.  One is shooting bulls eyes in his hallway and the other came pick up his bow last night and shot a few shots in the garage.  Not terrible form for only shooting a traditional bow a couple times   :OK
