That looks almost exactly like the bow Chuck was working on - his was a belly split with the same hole on each limb though, I believe.

Thanks, everyone.  I don't know if I owe this one to skill as much as I do to shear luck!  This bow was inspired by one that Jim Hamm wrote about in one of articles a while back-nice and long with very narrow outer limbs.

Okay, here's a fulldraw pic and one of the unbraced profile.  Also, a few more dimensions: 1.5" wide at the fades narrowing gradually to 10" from the tips where the limbs narrow into an eiffel tower shape to 3/8"nocks.  It also weighs about 23.5 oz.

Great job with such a challenging stave.  Whip that out at a 3d range and you'll  humble some wheels for sure. ;)
Like the layout and design, the last 2/3 of limbs looks light and fast, but with such narrow tips does the string stay in the nock groove well ?  And also what method do you use to string the bow being carefull with the lower nock ?

Great character and well tillered.  It does look very similar to "Hole in the Bow Chuck" 's bow at the Classic.
  You could add some cross hairs to both holes and have a short range sight and a long range site. ;D

Thanks again.  No special stringing method, although I should get around to making a stringer.

Really nice looking bow. Is there any chance of getting a full draw picture from straight to the side so we can see the tiller a little better?  ;D Justin

Now there is something you don't see everyday. That's a really cool bow.

Very nice looking bow. I have one that is very similar,
with two holes. I was working on it at the classic. I
am finishing it now, and will post pictures when done.
