Honestly, Bob, it was bit intimidating to know you'd be comparing this bow to that rocket-launcher of a bow ya got from Pat (lebhuntfish) last year. Thanks for kind words and am glad to know it works for you.

Hey knoll I am glad you was intimidated by Pats bow. It made you dig deep and create this beauty for me. And for high 40,s it spits an arrow  down range pretty darn good. and it is a joy to shoot. Thank  again knoll. By the way what is the little piece of wood tapered on both ends between the osage core and the boo in the grip area. Is that osage also.? Is that to keep the handle section stiffer?

Yep, to prevent handle area from bending. Term for that pc is "power lam", though it adds no power.   :-\    ::)     ???

Man Bob,  that's two years in a row you have won the lottery! The funny thing is both bows came from Missouri!

I got to get a good look at that one at mojam.  It sure is a sweet bow.  It's actually inspired me to start my own BBO! Nice job for sure on that one Knoll.  I know we give you a hard time but you out did yourself on this one!  :laugh:

Well that tells me you Missouri boys must know what your doing. Hardest part for me will be what one to grab when I go hunting. LOL. you guys both out did yourselves with the two bows I have. The two years prior to that I got really nice bows also.
