The GD Express
Kind of tribute to Garys billet bows. I used his templetes to build it.

Cool bow :) Some riser :)
Is it a pyramid?  Looks to be bending quite hard out of the fades?

Not sure. wimirwiki was suppose to keep us updated here. I only know what Pappy tells me here and there.

No it has the splice like Gary did them. A finger joint. Gary's joints were all about 4" whish are fine if your not baking the joint. I pare them down to 3" and slap a piece of wood on belly side of riser area.

Bow shoots well, being 69" with good sized limbs its not a real screamer.  Nice clean billets and easy to work with.

Nice job keeping a flat profile.  How about some more specs?
