Lookin good Little Fred, even with the extra reflex in the left limb it doesn't look that much stiffer. Keep doin what your doin buddy.

Luke, I'll bet the folks are thinking of getting you one of those Hanson scales from LeeValley for Christmas. A few more whispers in the ear while they're sleeping, and you will finally have this message subliminally ingrained in their minds

the bow was at brace in this pic, but then it slowly stretched down to the handle, I'm still working on getting the stretch out of this string. Bottom limb is looking too weak, but other than that it looks fairly good to my eyes, maybe a few touchup spots. Still have plenty of weight to work with. What do you all think?
DANG it is hard stringing an overweight recurve with 3/8 inch tips and a bunch of reflex

haha Dano, I know what you mean. I think that a fair bit of that could be natural though. Hopefully. You can't really see it in the relaxed pic, but there's a fair bit of reflex/deflex off the fade. I'm hoping that's what I'm seeing. The two funky looking spots in the mid-outer third are both natural character.
Either way though, I've got a bit of work to do on that limb still. Help me out here, remember I'm still a hack beginner with this stuff.
Bert I think the squirrel population is actually going UP, not down My shooting needs a bit of work

Looking better Little Fred. That whoop de doo in the right limb is tuff, But I think you can work out in time. Heck alot of guys would have made firewood out of her already
