"Does this bow make me look fat?"
I bet that was the first question your buddy asked, right?

Killdeer~stickbows'll do that!  :biglaugh:

Dano, that is a beautiful piece of sage there!
 I would like to learn something here, two questions: how much shorter is that lower limb?
 You went wider on the limbs for the extra draw length, but wouldn't the extra length be enough to allow for the extra draw?
Looks like another awesome tiller job!  :notworthy:  Terry

Beautiful bow. Nothing could add to a bow like that, except an arrow speeding through the air.

Terry, both limbs are the same length. I only went 1/8"wider, just a little extra insurance.

Thanks you all.
