I also did a racket style grip for the first time using Timo's build a long, have wanted to try this grip for some time I sure like the way it feels in the hand

Looks real nice bubster, you worked those character issues out just fine. I like all the profiles, the bend, and the good looking handle work too. Whoever gets that will be set for hunting season and will no doubt be thrilled with the bow.

thanks Greg, Kenny the only thing I do different is where I put the rest, that can be the problem I don't know how many I put on the wrong side the first time :laugh:
