here are a few pics for those of you that wanted to see the bow. the limbs are glass i ground to .010 followed by veneers ground down to .009 (no joke, you could nearly see through them) followed by a layer of .030 carbon on the back side and and a .020 layer on the belly side. the cores are action-boo (bamboo flooring). the veneers on the back side are leopardwood spliced with zebrawood with macassar/osage/macassar accents. the belly veneers are zebrawood. the riser is highly figured macassar with a cocobolo flare. and the accents are black glass/osage /black glass. the limb tips  are carbon/osage/carbon. the bow is 58" and 65#@28 (63# @ my 27" draw a little heavier than i wanted but i am still farting around with my limb thicknesses in relationship to carbon). i don't want to take away from the thread so i won't post the chrony #s but it is blistering fast with zero handshock (bill howland can verify that) and since it is a longbow, it is dead quiet. the arrows are beman classics that i foam filled for weight and hand crested. they have a 100gr brass insert and a 145gr first cut 2 blade head. total arrow weighs 640gr. hope this helps, gino

Wow that IS A Beauty, I'm in awe and most of all impressed. With the buck and the bow, not only a good hunter. But a super bowyer, to boot. Keep up the great work, and good luck the rest of the season!

That is just PERFECT!  The deer you were after with the bow you made and a perfect shot.  How could it get any better?  The best part is you can build yourself another bow and hang that one up with the deer  ;)

Man what a bow, I'm still impressed with the buck too, but that bow looks (and sounds) awesome!
