Scott F I think that is a stunning first try and you nailed it. I have read somewhere on the forum that someone said you can only do so much things on a forward riser, but I disagree.Options is legio...

Nice job.  Really like your bow.  Want to make something similar myself.

Thanks guys.  
Right now I have it braced at 8 1/4", but I am still determining the optimal BH.

I can tell you this, it is wicked quiet which is something that I was after.  That and the fact that there is absolutely NO way that my .400 deflection arrows will work because they show very weak.  I have some .320s coming in the mail tomorrow.
