Nice looking bow Dano.  Your attention to details really shows.

I do agree with DCM though...... unless that's a 38" arrow.... yank that thing back.  ;)

You too Keith??    "[dntthnk]"

Seriously I don't cut my arrows down, I don't like to loose the weight, and yeah I could prolly get another inch with better form, oh well. Thanks for the good words tho, I appreciate it.

What can I say... David's a bad influence.

As a wood bowyer, I wish a had a shorter drawlength.  I draw about 28 1/2 and that last inch or so really gives the wood a strain on the shorter bows that I like to hunt with.  Set really starts to show itself after about 25".

I shoot carbons, and to get them to fly right off the wide handles we make, I leave them full length and still have to stoot heavy points.

I shoot carbons too Keith, and I've found I can cut my handles down to 3/4" thick or wide, to give me a bigger arrow pass, a little closer to center anyway.

BTW David is a good influence, it's great to have him around. How's that for suckin up?   :bigsmyl:
