Very nice David. Yes it does look fast. I sure like the R/D style. I think I might try that on the boo/ osage I will be doing in the next few months. Thanks for the info the other day by the way. It glued up well and when I put it on the tree to exercise it some as I worked it up to full draw it tore the tips right off. That red oak sure is lame aint it. Guess thats why I'm so in love with osage. I will be talking with the doc later this week and get back with you on the wood we discussed.   Danny

Beauty David! Often I make up a leather grip cover and leave it off until needed. I hate covering up pretty wood too...

Your bow looks very fast too. ;)
