Thank you guys very much.
Greenriver... 1st, I posted this bow back in early October so it's a bit late for a BOM entry. 2nd, your bows have some of the sweetest bends I've seen, so I wouldn't hesitate to enter them!
barebo... I would love to get together for a 3D shoot anytime!
We'll show those glass guys what it's all about
kbear... the bow started off with just a touch of reflex. It probably took between 1/2" and 1" of set. I think heat treating really did a lot for this one, and I most likely got lucky with a really good piece of wood. I always put at least 100 shots through a bow before posting it, lately much more. I always use Badger's no-set-tillering as a guide, and Beech certainly is a great bow wood, but I think a lot of it has to do with choosing an appropriate design for the wood, and for what you want the bow to do. This particular bow has a pretty low-stress design, so that probably helped as well. Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time for each individual bowyer to find out what works for him or her.
redhillwoods... thank you sir. I actually gave this one away to a friend.
Thanks ohma2
