<P>Nice bow John, great idea on those tips. Looks like a contender to me. Steve</P>

<P>Nice John.&nbsp; About how deep is it in the handle, I'm guessing around 1"?&nbsp; Dacron or FastFlight string?&nbsp; Tiller is beautiful.&nbsp; Good luck.</P>

Sweet bow John. More what I'd be shooting for with a short tip-flipped bow. These guys making stiff-handled bows at this length boggle the mind. Your design is much nearer to bomb-proof IMO. I like the tip idea. I use a step-through method though, seems much safer to me (if not the bow).

This brings up another question. How is length measured on a recurved style bow? Tip/tip unstrung in a straight line, or tracing along the belly side? Think I'll ask in another thread.

NICE!!!!!!!<br><br><br>

<P>PLUS you can buy it on St Judes auction on TradGang!<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" align=absMiddle border=0><IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P>

I like that bow John.<BR><BR>It looks like it could&nbsp;be shocky on release.&nbsp; How does it feel?<BR>

Great looking bow John!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Last year my daughter and I made one of a similar design but more deflexed in the handle. Man,,is it a shooter, I just haven't gotten the guts to build one at the heavier weights yet myself but it looks like you sure got it figured out. Good Luck in the contest!<br>

People think leaving a bow 5/8" out to near the tips would be shocky, but I have a BBO that is every bit of that width and it doesn't bite ya. Its like a Cherokee bow, of course I suppose theirs were a little longer.

Thanks all.<BR><BR>DCM, it is 11/16" thick at the handle.&nbsp; I used a B-50 string although I have a Fastflight one on the way that I won in the St. Jude's auction at Tradgang that should work.&nbsp; I'm gonna try that.<BR><BR>Lennie, as for measuring length, I don't know.&nbsp; That's why I included both <BR><BR>Nosage,&nbsp;it definitely has more shock than a straight limbed bow but not so much as to be a bother IMO.&nbsp; I think it has much more to do with the recurving than the tip weight added by the overlay.<BR>
