  Cool looking bow, love that simple style. Brian Melton is in Montessano. With those wide limbs the tiller doesn't have to be dead on.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

strait and to the point, no frills, smooth lines. nice. the tiller looked a bit to bendy near the handle, but then i looked at the front profile, and it is spot on. good job.

It's My Magic Number....I just like the Feel and the Looks of the Arc of a Bow....66" Long....at 28" draw....at least in My Paddle Bows.....

Thanks Eddie....I love the Wide Limbed Bows....just cool looking and shoot good too!! But you got Me nervous now....I thought the Tiller was good.....are you saying I messed up........did I .....Oh My....I cant have that!!!!  :P ::)

Phil.....Thanks for your compliments.....I like a simple sleek Bow that you are not afraid to Hunt with or get wet and muddy....and this is one that you could String and crawl around the Swamp looking for Hawgs all day with....and never have to worry about it being strung too long or getting messed up....a few scratches may give it more Character!!!

I thought that I had really messed up when Eddie said that the Tiller didn't need to be Perfect!!!!  ;D

Just messing around Guys.....I am grateful for the Compliment....but I want the Constructive Criticisms too.....thats the only way to learn and to better ones self...

                                                            Oh....and I can do this too....cause it's My Post!!!!!!!!!

Good looking bow.  Bends a bit much in the inner limbs and a bit stiff mid limb. See?

Yeah thanks....I see it....but thats the weirdest shape Ellipse I have ever seen!! Kinda flat on the top and bottom....we will see what it looks like at 28 inches tomorrow when I have the Wife take a Picture....don't really like Tiller Stick Shots....this one is leaning in about three inches against the Fence ....so it would stay standing up may be giving it a skewed appearance......Oh....Eddie .... Now see what you started ..... ::) ::) ;D :D

The elipse you used is more suited to a longbow with a full compas tiller.  Your bow has a relatively stiff handle.  The bow still looks good though

What Marc said, The limbs need to bend the most where they are the widest. The bow looks real good..

Mike, thats an awesome bow! And I dont see nothin simple or plain about it. Gonna have to try one of these wide limb bows, looks like a great background for decoration for those with artistic talent....Brian
