Thanks Steve, been experimenting with nock height, and I figured out this bow really wants to be shot 3 under.  I have tried 3 under with every bow i have and i never could get past the added noise. doesn't seem to affect this one. turns out i really like 3 under, shrinks my gaps and really lets me gunbarrel the arrow, making even my snap shots not that bad.  I have been in a bad slump for a couple weeks, missing deer targets at 15 yds. i almost never miss a 3d target, and the last two shoots i have missed several.  Im nailing my home target out to 20 after two days of 3 under.  I think it wants to be shot that way because of the way i tiller. i support the handle from the center and pull the string from the center. i know some people make a point to pull from where their hands are going to be, and of course that makes sense, just haven't done it. any thoughts anyone?

Very nice!

Great job Echatem.  

Nice work, Eric.  Congrats!    

That tiller looks spot on    nice job! Now on to the next one...

Great job, Eric! Well done!  

thanks everybody.  its true whats been said about osage, once you build a bow out of it you won't mess with other woods.  all i want to do now is build another one

Looks good Eric well done
