I picked up a blank from pine hollow and finished it up on monday and finally got to shoot it tonight.

Very nice! I have had the parts to build a similar bow waiting in my shop for me to finish building. Can you post some stats?
Dave.

It's 66" TtT and pulls 54 @ 28". Nice and smooth.

I had thought about building one from scratch, but after seeing the ones on pinehollow I figured I try one out first  :)  Maybe after I am a more confident bow builder I'll build my own.

Nice looking bow, duck. From the looks of those pics, I'd say you could make a bow with no problem. Good job.
