Ryan, The reason I asked is cause my last Lemon wood Bow has the Handle a bit lower towards the Lower and there is a little more set to the lower limb. Like your Bows, Primitive and Powerful.PK

Thats a great looking bow. I love the simplicity. Cool stitching around the strike plate, too.
Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.
