Thanks for the very kind words guys. :) I'll probably hang on to this one for a while, 54/55" recurves for my draw length suit me well.
Forgot to mention, the photos were taken in Cypress Falls Provincial Park, one of my many playgrounds here.
Willie, I noticed nothing really different with using the compression side, it is quite crowned too.
It took less than an inch of set, but I'd thank the deflex for that. I'll put this one through the ringer and see how she holds up.
The broken branch use to be a few inches long with some dead needles on it.
I had it shooting, but I figured it would eventually break off and I'd rather it happen then. Was pretty cool though I wish I took a pi.

Love this bow man!  Your going to be a serious contender for BOY with some of your bows this year.  You have definitely developed your own style and I'm digging it!

Holy smokes, Goatster!  That sure is pretty.  You done a nice job (as usual) on that one.  Great scenery in the photos.  Looks like a bit of paradise you live in.
