Well Guys I think she came out nice, snappy shooter. Bamboo backed Ipe. 62 inches n2n  #49 @26,  1 1/8 wide out 8 inches to 9/16 tips. There is no real hand shock next time ill take the tips down to 3/8, didn't want to mess it up. About 300 arrows and no issues with the glue line on the fades, other than i can feel them with my finger nail. Had an inch of reflex off the form, still has an 1/8th.

Some one asked elsewhere why I left it so long passed the nocks, I wanted to see how it affected it, it makes it easier to sting up with a stringer. I can always chop it off.

I put my nocks about 3/4" on the back, 1" on the belly for the same reason, ease with a stringer.

I went one inch Pat, I will most likely do 3/4 on the back next time. One is more than I needed, .75 should be perfect.

Looks real good and the tiller is spot on.  I leave the tips longer because I use a  stringer with leather pockets.  You can always cut a groove on one limb tip and use one leather pocket only.

That's what I use Wolf, I like that type.

Good job finishing that one John.  Came out very nice!  I like the tiller and the unstrung profile.  Should make for a good shooter.
