Title: New Design
Post by: Crooked Stic on December 01, 2016, 03:00:00 AM

I was in need of a one piece recurve design in my line up. This one has a old school riser design. Decided to go with a parallel limb. A reverse taper going up belly ramp= a nice tight fade. Also makes a super stable limb. The first SWAG came out 53@28 and seems real peppy.

#2 moving right along. Came out 43@28. High density riser material from Rosewood. It has a bit of character to the grain. Brown glass.

have to agree. It has great flowing lines sort of retro, but stylish.

Thanks Kenny. It has that VHT clear wheel paint on it. It is more satin than matte. Seems pretty tuff. I did find out they do not offer it in quarts. And it stinks.   :rolleyes:

Time will tell on durability. Steel wool dont bother it much.
