Beautiful work Gordan.

[RayMO]

Gordon, what a beautiful bow and just outstanding for your first one. How does it feel in the hand to shoot?

[gordonf]

Ray, I should clarify that this isn't really my first bow - I've actually built several. But it is my first attempt at a laminated reflex/deflex design.

The bow seems quite fast and is easy to handle. I think it could easily become a favorite - at least until I build my next one   :D

[Chris Surtees]

Sweet bow Gordon.

[ONE SHOT]

Gordon after looking at the photos, it seems to Me that you might have too much twist in your Flemish string, looks to be a really tight spiral. This can cause erratic arrow flight,and string slaping your forearm, have you noticed any so far? Just curious cause I twisted one that was a little long for the Bow to tight and it took some time before I found out after calling Dean Torges why the Recurve wasn't shooting properly.

I now prefer a slow gradual spiral Twist in all My Bow strings....ONE SHOT...          :D    :D

[gordonf]

Yes, there is too much twist in the string. That is because I was using a tillering string for the pictures. I've since built a proper string for this bow.

You are very observant Gail!

[Hood]

Awesome! I'd love to have a bow like that!

[Terry Riley]

If you enlarge the picture you can read the writing on the bow. It says, to my buddy Terry....Happy hunting!

[pseman]

Great looking bow.

[gordonf]

I would think you already own enough of my crappy bows Terry   :D

[Terry Riley]

You make beautiful bows Gord. I never get tired on mine.

The color contrast is sure a eye catcher. No suprise its a beaut, every one you ever posted was a winner in my eyes.
Thanks for posting it, gives us a benchmark to strive for. RS
