     Either way, well done. 8)  Glad everyone stood by their commitments, and nice of you to forgo his bow also.  Point proven, and no one lost a an eye, or tooth.  ;)  Now......... drum roll....... When are we going to see the Sasquatch that is going to shoot that thing?  Or are going just drop the weight down to a reasonable hunting weight. Were those some edited words I heard when that thing let loose? ;) ;D ;D  Maybe you need to send it to Australia and let the Lady who shoots those heavy ELB's, shoot it! ;)  Let her make us look like wimps!  I admit it, I sure couldn't pull it back to shoot it.
 I couldn't even brace it!

To quote badger:
In an unfamiliar design we don't know for sure how much weight we are going to loose from compression so it is best to be on the safe side and brace the bow where it projects out to be about 15# heavier than we want.

Awesome advice and awesome bow!

All possible. Last winter I built a 100# Osage  selfbow 69” ntn with a 9-1/2” handle it was drawn to 30” shooting I think 380 yds in flight and I think 312yds in  broadhead breaking the record. No it was not me shooting the bow I’m a weakling! Nice bow Mark!

Going back and reading a bit. Well done Steve. This thing is old.
