So I started it today but now I'm thinking a horn bow may be more appropriate.

Robert that was good.

LMAO  :laughing: :thumbsup:

  I think it looks pretty good...  It looks like it needs to be stiffened up off of the fades but that could just be an illusion because you have a lot of deflex going on there...  The only real way to tell is to shoot her...  Do some speed tests if you are after performance...

  Good Job...

That full draw looks great, 31” looks good on the bow. Glad you didn’t pike it , but you may lose a couple finish sanding on limb edges. Curious, did ya change weight any when you cut shelf in?  :thumbsup:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Sprayed a few coats of finish on Roy's bow.  Letting it dry and cure before we finish it up and get it sent off.
