We'll gang it. Someone needs to speak up and break the tension. Sweet looking bow for someone!

WOW!!!

Travis, you out did yourself. What an awesome job and the talents...the bow is fantastic. I will post some pictures in the coming days. Cool shipping box.

Thanks, Sacred mt

Glad it got there in good shape. Stic made a great shipping box. I wish I would've made you a 62" that's the first 60" I've made of that design. That bow felt like it stacked but my scale showed it was good to 28"s. I hope it's okay at your draw length.

Here's Chapter 1 of my contribution.

I thought I'd give some more detail on my tillering workflow. Here's Chapter 2.

Finally got a decent day to shoot my swap bow. Shoots great! Thanks again Mike for the great bow. I took a couple pics of my 61" recurve side by side. A lot of difference in design. Goes to show two totally different designs can both work well.

Crooked Stic · April 02, 2023, 09:08:09 PM

I am certainly glad you like it. I like the looks of your design also.

John Scifres · April 05, 2023, 10:16:54 PM

Lots of progress made on the bow. Here is a quick tiller check after shaping the handle a bit and cleaning up the tips. Can't wait to start shooting her in. Right on target with draw weight. Really liking this bow!
