Kinda handsome. What were you thinking, ordering a looker like that? Now, every time you go somewhere to shoot, someone is going to ask about that bow. (How does it shoot btw?)

 Your life is ruined.

Is that a thin fiberglass backing over the bamboo backing and a strip of carbon in the middle of the limb?

That is awesome Jeff! I know that has always been one of your bucket list bows!

There is not any backing of any kind! Dave puts the strip of what he calls special laminate in the middle to help prevent limb twisting.
