Thanks Fellas!
I was trying to take a decent picture, but I'm no photographer by any means and my pictures suck as always.
CR- Yep, this would be the one off the new caul.
Shoot4thrills- It hammers those CX Predators home just as fast as my Bear Grizzly if that tells ya anything. I'm pleasantly pleased with it, best bow I've built so far.
Jeff- It's not taking set as far as I can tell, but I did lose some of the R/D when I tillered it. A certain amount will be lost when wood is removed from the belly, and the boo is only flattened not tapered, I wouldn't even begin to know how I could do that on a 4" belt sander.
Lee- That's my biggest coyote to date. Male that weighed 45lbs. and had a absolutely beautiful coat so it would have been a shame not to tan that one and put it on the wall. I'd say he was eatin good and looked extremely healthy almost like somebody's lap dog that got brushed everyday.
Then the euro of last years 8pt. I needed something to hold the bow up.
Yes that's a para cord handle and I think I really like it so far. It was fairly easy to do, little time consuming but I went slow and tried to do a neat job with it. I used super glue on it as I went around the handle, then soaked it a little more in a few places to make sure it stays on forever. I really like the feel of it.
That's black velcro on the arrow shelf by the way and I'm really diggin that velcro, talk about simple and effective! I'll never use anything else now.
Here's a couple close ups of the handle area.
