I don't have any photos but I had one and liked it. I draw 29" and had no problems with a 60" Killum. I'm not even sure why I sold it.

I don't think I have pics anymore of mine that I really wish I had back. The grip is fairly slim. Very smooth drawing, I think Tim said they only gain a little over two pounds a inch. I drew mine to 30 with no problem. The fit and finish are as good they come.

Here's some pics of the one I had. Nice bow. I don't know about the 29" draw. My arms are too short to try it!. As 4 point said, fit and finish are top notch. The bow was smooth and quiet. The grip just didn't like me, so someone else got a nice bow.
This is about the best I have of the grip from the back.
Here's a front view.
They are a nice bow of the '50s style. I've just found that the medium grip works better for me than the low wrist these bows seem to prefer.

I hope these work...they're a great bow! Wish I still had the Bacote/Birds-Eye.
Here is the Coco/Myrtle with my daughter...wow has she grown up from this photo!
I will try to take some comparison grip photos with other bows.
Thanks,
Josh

Rob,
The Killum is the smoothest pulling bow you will find. They can be drawn to 31" with no stack. Very quiet and quick bows. The grip is the best you will find also. Great shooting bows. Tim builds very nice bows.

Rob,
The grip is great and in the photo with my daughter you can see the palm swell. It draws great to my 29.5" length.
I need to get a string made for it.
Thanks,
Josh

"I need to get a string made for it." That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
