AWESOME bow bro!   I really like it.   nice and smooth.   Really like the natural look.  The handle wrap is really cool too.  great job all the way around.

Just one small thing.   Don't you think the draw weight is a little low?   >:D

I thought we were all make'n 100# bows now.  ???   :laugh: :o :laugh: ;D


Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Nice one Weylin.  That bend looks perfect.  Has sweet shooter written all over-it.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement! It means a lot.  :D

Del, I had another friend tell me that knob reminded him of something else... ::)

Blackhawk, I keep coming back to this style. They sure shoot hard and sweet and I really like the look of them as well.

Arrowind, I'll leave the #100 bows to the pros. I'll stick to reasonable bows.

No time like the present, TimBo!

Awesome bow Welin, I love everything about it!  Is yew envy wrong? Because I've got a bad case of it right now!

Sweet clean crisp bow!
I like those simple understated nocks better than those "chesspieces" they stick on classic elbs
