excellent looking bow gordon. i actually prefer a bit of string follow in an r/d. itll still deliver the arrow with force but feels better in the hand

A little string follow certainly makes the bow nicer to brace. My first Boo backed bow holds about 2" of reflex and I about get a hernia when I try to brace it without a stringer.
