Can't beat a bow that looks where you shoot!  ...and looks nice too!

Nice bow. Good basic design, and well executed. Low set and good tiller for the profile. Well done.
+1 nicely done!

Ryan,
         Yes it's tough to keep hickory from taking some set, though it's good tension wood. I have to stay at around 68" and wide with a deep heat treat to maintain any reflex. For the dimensions You posted Your results are outstanding 8)...Good work and good luck with the Turkey, hope you score!

You've made yourself a nice bow there.
Not all hickory is the same. It all likes moisture it seems. Getting it dried properly and sealed good is key for hickory. I've made some really fast hickory bows. Pignut is my favorite of what I have tried so far.
