I would say that this is the perfect shooting bow for me and my short draw.  It is smooth and you can just feel it about to start stacking when I reach full draw. It's not as quiet as that forward riser that I made but it is still very quiet.  I had to make a new string for it today so I'm still finding the sweet spot while breaking in the new string.

You put the shelf on backwards.   ;)   Other than that, looks good.

Nice lookin' bow, chackworth! And the arrow rest is on the correct side of the riser, Matt! LOL
