Boy you got that right Bradford!
And what an amazing bow it is!! It's perfect and the craftmanship is bar none, you did a fantastic job on this bow! Thank You so much, it's exactly what I was hoping for and when I saw the pictures you posted of it I was secretly thinking to myself....."I sure hope it's headed to Missouri"

I just got done tuning and shooting it a bit and the only pics I have for now are a couple of groups I shot with it out in my back yard. It's fast, accurate, and hit's with authority. I couldn't ask for any more from this bow, it's definitely going in my blind with me this fall. At a full 50" tip to tip when strung, it is a welcome addition to my hunting gear and now I don't have to come up with money to buy a bigger pop up blind, all I have to do is grab "The Bradford" and hit the ground running!
I'll get some full draw pics and pics of the bow this afternoon when it cools off a bit, near 100 deg.F already and it's not even noon yet, and I'll post the pics later tonight.
Awesome job Sir and you made a Big Ol' Missouri Redneck feel like a little kid at Christmas time, thank you so much!

15 yards.......and I haven't even tweaked the tuning yet! Hits right where I'm looking and I'm sure this bow shoots better than I can, haven't shot much since the weather got so dang hot.

 

20 yards and there is no noticeable drop at all from my CX Predators with 190gr. up front!

 

Here's one more from 18 yards.

AWESOME!!!!!!  Glad you like it.  Hope the stack is not to bad at the final draw length.  I personally could not pull it all the way back.. had to have a friend do it for me.

This was fun!  Looking forward to next year.

It stacks a little right at the end like you said, but not bad. I'll get used to it in no time and it's already more accurate than my Bear Grizzly recurve and waaaay shorter. You did a fantastic job on it, I couldn't be happier.

Sounds like you guys are almost as happy with your bows as I am with mine!  :bigsmyl:  
Still looking at the bow Keenan sent me and trying to move the calendar up! Certainly glad they raised our bag limit on whitetails this year! Now I just have to decide on a stand location/set up... Ground blind? Ladder stand? Climber? Stalking? hmm.   :archer2:

I finally got my basement bow range setup and put a few more arrows through the bow KennyM made me. Without a doubt I'll be using it this fall/winter!!! Thanks again Kenny.

Still no pictures for me yet of the great bow Walt Francis made me, but I'll get them up sooner than later.  I really do love the way it shoots, feels, looks, etc.  I've been putting it through its paces. It definitely is well mannered.  Thanks so much again, Walt!

In the process of tillering now. I'm far enough along that i'm going to shape the riser and start to finish her out. Whether I do that by shooting her in, or on the tree i'm not sure yet. I'll tell you what almost looks as good as Miami beach saturday mornings, is that brazilian cherry over that walnut.

I REALLY wanna see this one make it. It's the one my recipient has literally been waiting for.

Mine came this afternoon. A big thanks to eagleone.  It looks great!  The rural postal carrier was wondering what it was and when I explained it to him he thought it was awful heavy.  I told him that's just the PVC tube.   :)
