Dang Scott you hit a home run with that one. I like the wood combo and the i-beam is awesome. Hopefully you will draw my name on the next bow swap. Well I can dream can't I.

Sweet looking bow Scott.  Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks they drive Kenny crazy with questions.

Glunt I was hooked before i started building.Mudd it shoots great! Kenny ill try to get a full draw pic soon.I was the only one home today.I dont now if dad will try to take this one away from me or not.I may have to build him one a little heavier due to him drawing 28" compaired to my monkey arms 30" draw.Jess we'll have to see what happens next swap.You never know!
