Sorry the specs are 66" T2T. 55# @ 28". 1" of set for 10 minutes after unstringing. The two pin knots are hidden by the leather grip. Its a little snakey but not too much for the first time. It took some dry heat to get it moved to be even that much in line. As is now its almost center shot. I love the way it shoots.

Thanks
Bill

Way to go Bill. Looks good. Clean piece of sage if those are the only knots in the wood. Congrats   :thumbsup:    :clapper:

Good job!
I think it's interesting how everyone's first bows (mine included) have beefy handles, then they go on diets as you build more.

Looks great to me. I hope my first turns out that good. That's assuming I ever find the time to finish it.
