That is a really nice osage bow.  Congratulations on the first of hopefully many more.

Looks pretty nice. I like the unique handle.

Hard to tell from a braced pic alone but it looks like the upper limb is a little flat compared to the lower. Maybe it is just the angle of view or maybe this reflects a funky unbraced profile. That is where unbraced profile and full draw pics help us help you.

Welcome aboard!

Yes I still plan on getting a few more pics of full draw when I get the time.

The handle fits my hand exactly and I based it on the ergonomic designs of several handles from tape guns and forlkifts from work that I thought felt really good in my hand.

I watched a youtube vid by billy berger where he gave the tip of if the handle fit your hand really well, it will help you get the same grip placement every single time you pick up the bow which will help you shoot better.

I'm an inexperienced shooter as of yet so I figured that would really help me get shooting better faster.
