"Bullet" bow

[scrub-buster]

Here is my newest bow, "Bullet"  I posted it on PA a while back.  Some of you guys might have seen it at the Tenn. Classic.  

It is 45# @26" and 65" or 66" long.  I can't remember right now.  I over built it a little because the wood was very low quality.  It had thick early rings and the late wood was crumbly.  I had to put horn overlays on it because the string was denting the nocks while tillering it.  This was the first time I've tried tip overlays and it won't be my last.  The lower limb has a nice whoop de doo coming out of the fade.  When I roughed out the bow on the bandsaw, I found a bullet in the back of the knot in the upper limb.  The tree grew around it and caused the open knot hole.  When I finished the bow, I drilled a hole in the lower fade and glued the bullet back into it.  It kind of felt right keeping the bullet with it.  Drilling a hole into a finished bow was a little different

Here is how I found the bullet

So what caliber and age is the bullet?
You should do some forensics.

Foul, foul!!! no peep sights allowed!!!

No clue what size the bullet is.  The tree was growing next to a country road so that is probably where it came from.

The hole is way to high for a peep site.   :D
