Sweet looking bow... Slightly off topic but I'm new to this and was wondering why some take-downs have the limbs mounted to the back of the riser and some to the front of the riser? Is there any benefit or draw back to one or the other or is it just bowyers preference?

Joshua. (Hunter74) I build this type of bow because I like the way A forward riser bow shoots for me . I have a little more control with my shots and I like the looks of them .Draw backs I have none If you get A chance try one . George

I could not resist and shot a few arrows with the bow tonight. This bow shoots great. I typically shoot a longbow but I may be looking into getting a recurve after shooting one of George's bows.Here are some pictures of my first four arrows from the bow @ 18 yards. The arrows show a little weak, I shoot them from my longbow that is 49# @ my 26" dl.
This is an awesome bow George. I love the way the handle is shaped, my hand was so close to the shelf just as close if not closer than it is on my longbow. The difference being that on my bow I have to place my hand close to the shelf on this bow it is automatic because of the handle design. Even with the arrow not being tuned to the bow the fletch did not hit my hand. I could go on and on, the bow is awesome I cant wait to shoot more this weekend. Thanks again.

Richard . Thanks for your comments and pics. About the shelf It's cut 1 inch. above the deepest part of the grip I like the arrow close to my hand. Give us more feed back after you shoot it some more. George

Well I shot the bow again today, probably over fifty arrows through it. This bow is super smooth and easy to shoot. I ddnt have an arrow that would tune perfectly to the bow but I was close. I shot out to 23 yards(the max at my house)and my group were very consistent better than my longbow that I've been shooting for a year and a half.This bow is simply awesome. I hope to own one in the future. Thanks again George. I may get a chance to shoot tomorrow morning if not this will be it for me, either way I'll be shipping it out to Matt Monday afternoon.
