After quite a few broken bows and ones that ended up as kids bows, I finally got a shooter for myself. 56" ntn, 2" wide after fades, tapering to 3/4"tips. It is a bend through the handle hickory bow with about 2" of deflex and 1.5" reflex.  Has taken a bit of set, but still shoots pretty nice.

That's got a nice tiller. What's the weight?

It is 53# @26".  It was originally a 60" bow, but I ended up piking the tips (after I didn't like the way the heated recurve came out) and re-tillering.  She shoots pretty nice with very little hand shock
