Got her ready to shoot in.  Changes in design, .002 taper on belly as opposed to a parallel lam stack, 17" riser for 64" bow as opposed to 16" riser for 64" bow.  Weight right on, tiller right on.  Now to see if it shoots decent.

Dang Al that looks great.  I really like the shape of that one.  Full draw looks spot on too.  Well done

Got mine pretty well finished.  The clear is dried up and I shot it some this afternoon.  I'm really pleased with it. I'm still going to keep it for a little bit and shoot it some more.  Here's a few pics

The shelf material is just temporary black Velcro.  Its going to get some bear hear and leather shelf plate.  The leather gets scuffed up and I want it to look new when my recipient gets it so I'll switch them out after I get done being selfish and quit shooting it..lol Here's a few more.

this is ten yard group
 

20 yard group
 

and my 30 yard group
 

hahaha I couldn't resist the 30 yard joke.  You all might not have thought it was as funny as I did.  I also got my woodies done done that I built for the bow Roy sent me.  First time I've dyed feathers with Koolaid.

   

Dang cell phone pics doesn't show much color.

I thought your 30 Yard group was just the laugh I was in need of.

Thanks Al.  Crap I forgot the full draw pic.  Better get it posted before some calls the trad popo.  Even though I hate to put it up after yours Al.  Mine doesn't look at good as yours.

Mike, Moose,D and Al nice bows! Did a bit more tweaking and put about 3 dozen shots trough it Friday... No rain in 6 months but clouded up high winds and rain on Saturday so I added some mesquite tip overlays and made a new string tonight.

D, some nice arrows there. The bow's ok too...

Your thirty yard group looks better than mine. At that distance I usually forget which direction the target is in.
