Here is my third bow I made. Have killed some game with it. 51# @ 27. Shag bark hickory. Its kinda slow due to heavy tips but it flings arrows good. has 2.5 of set.

Here's my truckin bow.  Its got over 300,000 miles of bouncing around in my truck on it.  It's 60 ntn 55#@28" although it usually only gets drawn to 27".  1 1/2" of set.  I believe its red hickory.  Its beat up, scratched up and poorly tillered.  But it shoots hard and smooth and shows no sign of giving up.  Josh
