Oh yeah, 64" TD longbow, 55# @ 28" shoots real good , but quite a bit higher than the 45#er!

A couple more...

Kenny, looks great. I like that serious thumb groove, looks like your hand will settle in there perfectly each and every time.

that "prototype" sure doesn't look like one.
      :thumbsup:      

did you have any problems threading the inserts through the "red" material?
Not sure what it is..

Is that about a 15"riser"
what's the length of the bow?

Thanks for sharing!

OK, I forgot to put some info in!    :D  

Riser is jatoba(Brazilian cherry), Zebra, with bloodwood and red phenolic accents.

Limbs are jatoba back, zebra belly,bloodwood wedges, red and black phenolic tips with a slice of zebra/phenolic/jatoba overlays.

I hope to have plans for this one and the 2 d/r bows already tested and proven by the years end!

This riser is almost too busy to suit me, but still cool.   :)
