Shooting for 125# @ 42" give or take

Haha I'm just making sure my victim doesn't catch on. It's going to be a lot more manageable than 125# ...

Some shots of the nearly finished bow. Needs more shooting and perhaps fine tuning ... Maybe some string grooves. 64" ntn, I fear its gong to be a tad under weight after full shoot in, but we will see.

   
   
   
1/4" positive tiller.
Full draw soon.

Looking good!! And I personally would rather be a tad underweight than overweight!   :thumbsup:
