Nice bow Max. You gonna shoot that shortie with a thumb release?

Pat B

That should be fairly easy to remedy; belt sander or side grinder.  :saywhat:

With a recurve stringer

That's pretty manly, I would be using a peg board for that much reflex.

The side profile looks pretty awesome, I look forward to seeing the full draw pics and hearing how it shoots.

Ditto wanting to see that shortie at full draw. A video of it being shot would be very cool too and one of the bow being braced would be fun too! :bigsmyl:

Tiller is even now
Needs a little tiller and round over all the wood and it will be finished.
Limbe are  1-1/8" wide now, the last 4" taper down to 5/8"
#37@28"



Riser is 1-1/2" thick in the center.

Just use a regular recurve stringer.
Hold the grip really good until the riser is above the tips when I string it. Easy

She's a beaut!

No shelf on that handle, right Max?  Just shoot off the hand.
