Outstanding Jess. I like the look of the lams all on the belly side of the wedges and how you have matched that in the riser.  Beautiful bow!

Very nice Jess! I been wanting to build one of those. Could you tell me the riser length and angle where the limbs attach.

Thanks for all the nice comments.  Bob the riser is 16" long and the limb platform are flat no angle at all.  Scott glad you are enjoying yours, they do shoot pretty good.

BenBow you are more than welcome to come over but this one will already be shipped.

Ozzyshane I really don't know why more bowyers don't use the belly mounted limbs.  No I don't think BW has a patent on it.  Belly mounted limbs are not new Browning made a takedown with them called it a backpacker I think.
