This is an excellent bow Patrick!  Great job for any bow in a long series of them - but a jaw dropping amazing bow for your FIRST!  I've seen these tips up close and personal.  They are truly WOW Factor narrow.

BTW - I'm kinda glad you decided not to put the sinew on this one's back.  It is excellent as is...  Not every bow should have the requirement that you be endowed with super human strength to draw them back.  Smooth and sweet can be REAL NICE even if it's slightly lighter.
