Bamboo backed maple core ipe belly hybrid bow (not for botm)

Here's one I just put the finishing touches on. It's off the same form as last one I posted but its 2" shorter at 58" ntn and it pulls a little over 40#@28" Don't let the light draw weight fool ya though it smokes a arrow. I wouldn't be a bit afraid to take this bow hunting.

That is definately a beauty Ryan! I bet that leather grip was a pain in the rump to get right. Was there a trick or do you just trim a little til you get it right? Did you measure it at different spots? Sorry just curious how different people do their grips.

That's fantastic. I love the look of that recurve with the deflexed handle. What about that design helps with performance?
