I call it Freebird .
60" one-pc recurve built from materials I didn't feel right about shipping for cosmetic reasons.
Ended up at 48# @ 28"(my scale was off)
I put .0025 total taper in 1.5" wide limbs with a superlam containing .001 taper and a builtin tip wedge and power lam.
19" riser , I took the deflex roughly from a Bear Kodiak Hunter that shoots very well. From there on out it is a whole nother beast.
Here are some pics.....

Pretty sweet bow, Kenny...
Very Nice!!

Great looking bow and I love the name - got my lighter in the air!
Great lookin bow Kenny!
Looking good Kenny.
Thanks guys! I swear Freebird played on the shop radio almost every time I worked on it. It goes a bit deeper than that too....
Yes, I had real pants on this time so as not to traumatize anyone!! LOL
Awesome bow, I like the red accents a lot!
Good job Kenny. Nice full draw
She looks sharp Kenny. I like her lines.
I know exactly what you mean, 'Copperhead Road' by Steve Earl is my personal favorite shop tune, if only my speakers went to 11!
That's pretty nice, Kenny.
Does this mean you're now a recurve man?
Not really John, I wanna shoot a deer with it just to see. I do shoot it pretty well for me.....
It isn't louder, but has a little sharper tone or something. We will see. Got about 5 bows I'd like to take a deer with now...
Any plans for making kit plans?
Pretty sweet bow Kenny. If it shoots as nice as the one I got from you I bet you could almost just talk a deer into the truck with it.
beautiful bow and a great guy to boot
Really good looking curves to her Kenny. Good luck hunting!
nice Bow bud :thumbsup: :archer2:
Very Nice Kenny. Looks great.
GZ Kenny cool bow, the riser and especially the I-beam is one of a kind!
I really like this one!! I think once you kill a deer with it you'll be hooked on curves. Very nice.
Very nice bow. Love the curves and the i-beam riser just looks great.

Dang Kenny that looks great. I really like the red and the shape of the riser.
whats your appraisal of it now re noise, any hand shock and performance?, and do you plan to offer plans or templates for it.
Nice, Kenny. Only problem I see is the side you cut the arrow shelf on! Not enough lefties around here!
Sweet bow!
Thanks guys!! I'm not gonna sell any plans for a bit, but I might make a few templates if anyone wanted one...
Looks great Kenny hope ya get a chance to draw blood with her this fall.
Cory
Awesome! Keep us posted if you put some plans together.

Hey Kenny! I would be intereted in a template. Been wanting to build a black on black bow for a turkey/blind bow. This looks like what the dr ordered. I am planning son stopping by for a visit and shopping sometime soon. Thanks!

Sweet bow Kenny.
Beautiful job Kenny. The deer should be shaken in their hooves. :D
