Thaks guy's,  no backing it's a self bow, shoots very nice and has some good thump on the target. Bow is smooth with no shock at all

Both this bow and the osage you posted look great.  But, I have to ask the arrow pass is set up for right hand an in both cases your picture shows you drawing left?

The Osage is a lefty. He must have built this one for some one else. I hope he comes back, would love to hear how he put the reflex in. Both are beautiful bows. >>---> Ken

Kenneth, i steamed/boiled the tips about 45 mins and bent them without a backing strip in a caul, easy peasy
