Great looking bow Kenny!  Want me to come up again and see how it does at a LOOOONG draw?

Like the tips too.  I liked the bows you showed me when I was up but if there was anything I would have changed it would have been the tips.  Yours were pretty much standard size and looked great but I've always liked the looks of tiny tips on a longbow.

So, it sounds like you just cut the action wood on a slight bias to get the diagonal effect?  I'm guessing strictly on the veneer and not an actual working lam?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Thanks guys!

Dave, I think it'll go 30 or 31 without probs!

I like the small tips also,but don't usually go too small if other folks are gonna be shootin em much for safety factor. Always wonder how small is too small...

The angle cut is a slight compound cut,and the veneers(or outer lams) are .040,so they would be working.
Stay sharp, Kenny.
