Incoming picture flood!

The bow is 67 inches Nock to Nock. It pulls 60 at 28. She moves an arrow with some serious juice!

I put about 100 arrows through her today with no noticeable drop in draw weight or changes in tiller. Then I added finish.

Here come the pics.

Moose antler tips- top groove is for stringer. Getting these hooks strung with the push pull method is really hard!


Full draw in the flowers.



Belly grain and string alignment.



Brace



Moose antler shelf.



A little bit of snake a lot of roller coaster.



Back



Full Draw



Thanks!

Thanks guys!  I got some bamboo arrows tuned up for it and it is shooting very nicely! It also shoots a 55 lb spine POC shaft with a 125 grain rubber blunt very well.

I will post some stump shooting rove pics here .

Nice bow,  I like the swirl grain pattern in the handle transition area.
