Well after 2 weeks of trying to finish this bow I consider it done. 64" kennym design 42@28#. Not perfect, but the imperfections make it perfect to me. Not sounding all weird or anything but she hits where I aim. Good mojo. Another special thanks to the lam guru, Kenny, for all your help with making this bow. Now I haven't actually called him on this one but many emails and LOTS of looking at his bow build posts, invaluable information. Let's get to some pics....

You can barely see my son's bow with training wheels in the background of the full draw pic. I haven't been shooting much, just working on the bow and I still grouped as tight as he did! Ok Kenny, now about that mild R/D bow I want to build.....
Nice job! You did a great job with the color combination! More to come I'm sure!
Wow that's a beauty- got to love them when they are shooters too.
i really like the color combo. looks great all round, especially full draw shots.
beee-utiful
i love your riser- lot of work in there- good job.
they sure do shoot where you look.
arent they just the best bows.
i love mine.
never had another bow like it.
i have to do something with it everyday- build another string, fiddle with the arrows etc etc- its like an obsession!!
nice job there- you can be justifiably proud of it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
congratulations! :clapper:
Looking Good. Bue--.
Cool riser, congrats on that success!
Great job on a fine looking bow.
Wow Great job! :clapper: Love the color contrast!
That char awood looks great with the accents you put in it!! As does the rest of the bow! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks Kenny. Best shooting bow I have ever had.
Very nice, Critman! I really like the looks of that bow.
You know if' you missippi boys kin make glass bows, maybe an arkansawyer kin, too. LOL!
I'm from Natchez, Crit, where at are you located
Great job there critman! Any imperfections don't seem to hinder the way it shoots. Time to make one for your son and get him hooked. Better yet, have him help with the build.
That's great Chris, my 8 years of prototyping wasn't wasted after all!! :D
:bigsmyl:
Good Job Sir...
