Thank you very much for the kind words guys. As always, its mean everything to me coming from my peers and not just a nicey nice family member who STILL doesn't know what they are looking at when I ask for opinions :)

I'm dedicating my next 5-6 weeks of shooting to this bow alone.

Bow should be heck of a shooter!!

Looks like a sweet bow! I love the "improved"  handle design! Patrick

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Pearl the bow looks great. Any improvement on a hill style bow is good . I admire you and Howard Hill . However the hill bows I have shot had more hand shock than I desire. I do like the added deflex. Probably plenty quick also. Arvin

Thanks Arvin! That added deflex took care of that shock you mentioned. That's why I called my Improved Hill. I still have the long, narrow profile with reflexed tips. But made a shooter friendly grip and deflexed the mids.
