Congrats!  Glad to hear it showed up :)

Its WAY more curve than mine.  I love that riser, with the black strip.  I'm really curious to see what you think of shooting it. 

How does the handle feel to you?  Going to fit your hand well?

The pic is distorted and brace is set at 6 1/2" to grip and 7 1/2" to center of grip.  It is an ax handle longbow grip that I will have to adjust to, as well as shooting nock point under, Hill style.  It does have some good 'wiggle' in the limb, but arches out just fine when strung.  I've wanted a Sentman bow for many many years, I'm going to savor this.

I'm sure this will turn into a good companion.

Looks like they are compressed a bit in the vertical plane, Wud.  If I open them on my desktop, they come out fine, but taller. 

You could try rotating them, so vertical becomes horizontal...may help, and really won't affect the ability to see them.   Or maybe they are rotated 90 already?

Put a few arrows through my new 9/1/20, Razorback.  Gary said the bow has been tuned with Hill Style nocking point.  My Ballistic Nylon tab gave a very smooth arrow release.  Speed and feel was on par with my heavier bows.  Shot a 28" arrow and could feel back of the point on my finger at full draw, so my draw is a tad longer than I thought and I'm getting the full 60# from this bow.  Hit dead center when I stayed in focus throughout the shot.  First couple arrows were about 4-6" high.  This longbow is flat shooting and quiet as a mouse fart.  My rehab has been coming along well, so I'll shoot this Moosejaw for a bit before trying my heavier bows.  I think this will be my new friend/companion.  Finally, figured out the pics.

That looks much better! 

I'm really happy for you... he sure built sweet bows.  Mine is the quietest bow I own.

As I mentioned, it has been a long time that I wanted a Moosejaw.  About 25 years ago I shot one of his longbows, not sure the model, but I was hooked.  Finally, I have this one and it may become my favorite bow.  I have some good ones.  The location of these silencers is very good.  It indeed may be the quietest bow I own.

Starting my shooting experimentation with this Moosejaw.  Have one 28" arrow, 816 grains TAW, and four 29" with 820 grains TAW.  The later have 160 gr points.  The shorter arrow I used to verify my draw length, the longer arrows will be hunting length.  Anticipating some good results.

Someone worked this chart up for me based on this morning at the range.  This bow really tosses a heavy arrow.

Dropped to 160 grain tips from 190 and arrows were grouping very well.  These arrows are all around 800 grains and move out fairly well, plus hit hard.  Of course the bow is very quiet  This Razorback is very smooth and shoots well with a Thunderhorn 6 arrow quiver strapped on.  Shooting from 13 yards, or so.  Can't wait to get someplace were I can air this bow out, plus get this bow in the woods and see how it maneuvers.

When do you think you'll get a chance to hunt it?   Sounds like you have it dialed in :)

Probably won't hunt until the weather cools perhaps in September, so the hogs will not be totally nocturnal and in the thickest cover conceivable.  Promised Gary some LDP and hope to make that happen sooner than later.

This bow is probably the best draw, point, release one that I currently have.  The ax handle grip helps.  It really shines in rapid fire mode at target.  Gary had a knack for putting together a no frills hunting tool.
