Can you really see the actionwood( in the accent stripe)? That is phenolic on grip and thumbrest....
Nope. Lol
Guess I should zoom in a little more on the ol phone. Thought the grip and thumb were awood.

Hey Kenny I like to taper the belly side fairly narrow. It gives the meat of the hand a place to go improving the palm swell. I don't really round it to give the flat spot you mentioned. When the bow is drawn it sets right in the hand. The bows are 1.4375 wide for reference. Not the best pics but thought I'd share.

Thanks Mike! I usually do pretty similar to yours(not that good)  but the ILF riser feels so good in hand I'm trying to copy it somewhat. Got to get my brother to shoot it and see what he thinks.

Still much wood removal to go.....

Brother has both bows this weekend, he is in love with them!

He said no difference in shootability in the pair, so they will get rounded over a bit more, but still leave the flattish spot on belly of grip. Hard to explain, but I think I can get it done.....

Also will narrow riser up below grip, kind of like Mike's bow in pic above.

If you look at Mike's, it appears from this angle to be kind of flat below center of grip, that is what I'm shooting for, told bro I'm in no hurry. You can always take more off, but you can't put it back on....

Kenny, could you use the scrap from the sight window cutout to build up the left side of the grip? It looks like the trim line could match up OK.

Got sis number 2 done, number 1 had some health issues...

Will have her done by next weekend I hope, then some family pics together.

This one is mine, bro liked the big grip on the other riser better...

Looks like it's bending good kenny.
Bet it's pretty quick with that backset handle.

Thanks guys!

Brad, its quick enough, but it doesn't match the pro mod.  

On the other hand, I shoot it much better!! Well mannered, which kind of surprised me with the limbs set forward....

The 2nd finish I tried was much flatter no glare, wonder if that means less water resistant??? LOL

Johns is 49 # @ 27  and mine is 49# @ 28 so we should be able to trade arrows if needed on a hunt.....
