I'll be the first to admit that lighter colored bows are not my favorite, but I really like this one. Great job. Makes me think I might have to try one like it soon.

thanks guys---I originally built it for 3-d -but like so much it will definitely be out hunting this fall!!
the locust lams from troy make a great feeling bow
and seem real quick !
the maple was sourced here in the Delaware valley
and the 2x6x6'rough cut board a buddy gifted me has ended up in 3 different boards!
hers another from that board almost finished--

I wouldn't swear to it but the rumors of white glass being faster might be true!!

Very nice - I also have built a few bows with Black Locust cores from Troy and I have been pleasantly surprised with how nice the Black Locust shoots.

Very Nice looking profile. I always love white glass, like the Hill Tembo or Dave Johnson bows.

Again, great job!

Very nice!

I might just have to use that bow name someday myself. "White Lightning" was my nickname in track and field in high school. And it wasn't because I was fast, but rather because you went blind if you looked at my white legs...
