Can you share with us some specs on the bow?  Lamination thickness and what weight you came up with?

Thanks and I will get you some better picks and specs/mesurements after work today.

The bow is 68" tip to tip and 50# @ 28, I would have marked it on the bow but I have a shoot this weekend and when I get back I plan on putting 3 more coats of Spar varnish on it.

I was able to spend the day shooting with K.S.TRAPPER yesterday. This bow is whisper quite with no string silencers. And Osage and Bamboo just look great together.

I'm sure some Kansas Monster will be in some serious trouble come fall. Great job on this one Tracy.

Thanks guys!

Brett it sure was fun getting to spend time and shooting with you. Let me know when were going to the next one.   :D  

I forgot to have one of you guys take a full draw pic of me shooting this bow. See if I can catch the wife later this week. It sure shot nice this weekend.
