Just finished up this hickory longbow and some arrows. This bow has given me fits. String alignmant,propeller twist, excessive reflex.After ten heat corrections I finally got her dialed in.




After a couple hundred shots she still has over 2.5 inch of reflex.



Here she is at full draw, setteled in at 50 lbs at 28 inches

Looks nice at full draw - nice job.  What do you have on the tips? - can't tell from the pics.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

Great lookin bow! I really like the color. Its always fun to build a bow from a piece of wood that doesnt  want to be a bow.
