Looks like you did everything right, thats a nice bow. Jump on in that BOM Bob, the bows got the stuff to be a serious contender. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Nice work Bobert! Now pull it past 23" and take another pic man! I want to see that sucker out to 28". Not that I don't trust you 100%, I just like seeing It ;)

Thanks jimjimmysticks
Thanks buckeye guy.and pearl drums thanks. And the arrow in the picture is 32" . So I figure I was at least 26 in the picture.
Man this bow hits down range hard. One of my favorite to date.
But I gave a osage recurve in the making now. Well it has a long way to go. I just ran a ring yesterday. And it has to season some.

Bob,
           The Osage you mentioned, is that the one you sent me pictures of with the perfect natural reflex? That looks awesome so far...Ratio looked good also
