here's the money shot, draws realy smooth and shoots well too, I got this stave from elktracker a couple of years ago , I heated in a gentle reflex and flipped the tips and most of it is still there, don't see elktracker much on here anymore but thanks, bub

Now, that's one beautiful ugly stick. I love the simplicity of it. My only suggestion would be to get the reflexed outer limb to open just a little more. other than that I love it!

thanks Pat, and yeah I know it probably should open up a touch more but it shoots so nice and has taken virtually no set so i'll leave well enough alone

thanks matt, here's a pic of the tip, I didn't do anything fancy on this bow at all, including the tips, I did stain with some dark walnut  and wrapped the grip with hemp

So what are the specs on this bow?
