Silent Bear have you looked into the bow swap, I know a lot would love a chance at one of these. I am suprised Stiks has not suggested it to you yet.

Nice bow,
Kelly

stiks and brock thanks for the nice comments

Kelly I have seen it on here before when is the next one going to be ?

Here is a partial draw picture at 16 inches I have a hard time stressing the bow while a snap a picture this is as far as I am willing to bring it the full draw is 22 inches the tiller may look funny because of the twisted limbs but I can assure you the bow is in complete balance

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. If I would have read this on the 12th you could have gotton in on it this year the 13th was the last day of signing up.
Next Dec-Jan will be the next one if Stiks-n-Strings has anything to do with it.
