 That leather looks good, Chris, thought you would like it. What is that bow called? I like the profile.

 No that's not the same bow style. I got lucky and went home with a 3 piece take-down @56#.

this one draws 50#@31", so i'm guessing it's around 45#@28".  been wanting a medium weight bow to play with.  just got my 35/55 goldtips in today and i'll hopefully get them fletched tonight.  can't wait to see how they fly.  love these little bows!!

 It works, Chris, unless you hit it in the nose. Then they run off with your nice, expensive arrow. :-[

lol i know this is off topic but while we talkin about shootin pigs in the head, they had a "running" but more like flying, cuz it was ten foot in the air, pig at a 3d shoot. i lead it to much and hid it an inch behid the ear. still only got the 5 points for a flesh would.  >:(

Mine is the serpentine. Ive been shooting it a lot and working on the longer draw. 65# at 31" I am getting it back 29 -30" now and man does that thing bury an arrow :o Took me a bit to get the feel for it but I really like it.
Leather looks cool  Chris

I'm afraid to ask how you got a hold of elephant leather...
Was the circus in town?
