I just got one but don't have picture capability at this time. It is 60" Mesquite with sinew and rawhide backing with lots of artwork. It is 48#@29" draw. It is smooth to draw and has been very comfortable to shoot and has been shooting the wood arrows I use with my Hill longbows of similar draw weight. I have been shooting it as accurately as my longbows. It is quiet with fur string silencers. It came already set up to shoot.

Hey Terry, i don't own one but shot a few and have several pictures.  I hunted with Mr Scott last March and saw his bows in action.  As soon as i return home i will post some pics.  They are beautiful works of art and are great shooters.

I shot one a few years ago at the Boise Trad expo. I thought it was a VERY nice shooter, it hit where I was looking, and pleasing to the eye. Good stuff, these bows.

I have 2: a hunting osage bow and a gemsbok horn bow.  Mr. Scott is making a juniper bow for my 7 year old daughter (in pink!)

I have bow adhd and have traded/sold/etc lots of bows.

I will never sell these bows or trade these bows.  If they leave my possession it would be as a VERY meaningful gift to someone very close.

When I get the pink juniper bow, I'll post pictures of a happy girl shooting it.   Prolly be in January or early February.

They are neat looking bows.  I too would like one.  I have had the privilege of holding one, but unfortunately I didn't ask to shoot it.

I have one.  60" sinew backed white oak.  LOVE IT!!!  It is hard hitting and whiper quiet.  Shoots where I want with no trouble.  I have shot literally thousands of arrows out of it the past three years or so.  Mr. Scott makes a supurb bow.  I dunno how to post pics on here, but gimmie your email and I'll send a couple.
