A couple of weeks ago I bought the McBroom ASL that Brian posted on the Sponsor's Classifieds.   68" 59@28, stringfollow, with brown glass over a 4 lam yew and actionboo core, and a highly figured bacote riser and tip wedges.  The last photo shows the amount of stringfollow (I measure it at 1 1/4").  Fit and finish is superb.  Light in the hand, quiet (even without silencers), smooth drawing, and no handshock.  Shoots heavy arrows with authority.

That bow looks awesome, I remember wishing it was LH.  Judging by the photos and his pricing, Brian's work appears to be one of the best values in an ASL today.

"string follow" - is that the "memory" in the limbs?  I have a hill style bow that has the same thing(i left is strung too long, i think).
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. Jeremiah 17:7

"There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

Dan, the string follow is actually built into the limbs.  Most longbows take a bit of a set over time but the string follow is intentional per the design.

That bow looks clean and bomb proof. Sometimes I love the look of a bow that seems like it was built to be campainion on a 3 months trek through the rocky mountains. And I'm also growing to love the look of aged yew wood. Very nice indeed!
