Great looking bow Ken! How do the holmies shoot? Any noticeable difference in cast?

NYarrow , they are great shooters and have high cast , some of the same benefits as my mollys lever advantage with light tips and an open string angle helps with energy storage
thanks ya'll

I always like seeing your bows Ken. And this one is no exception. Strung, unstrung or full draw they are beauties!
