Looking sharp :)
Did you put the deflex in the fades? That's what I do with bows like this now.

One of the fades had a natural deflex kink and i just matched the other to it....normally i would prefer to put my deflex in the handle tho...thanks!!!  :)

Radical bend on those tips.  I like the handle different than most.

Thats a sweet one right there. Awesome full draw!
What type of process did you use to bend your tips?  I'm wanting to make one like that myself.

Patrick

I reduce my tips down to at least 7/16" thick X ~1" wide  and on one ring along the belly,steam for 30 mins +,and then make the bend all at once over a form clamped nearby the heat source,and i dont use straps on the belly when bending it over. Works for me...your mileage may vary....thanks!!!  ;)

Thanks bud, I'll give that a go next time.
