I decided to get some pictures of Quasimodo and shoot it a bit. And dang putting the handle wrap on smoothed it out quite a bit. Enough that I could shoot it all evening. I may not even worry about finishing the other bow for an option. This one shoots well with lots of character. ~120* of prop twist, about 5" difference in reflex, and a good bit of side wiggle. Oh and it pulls 50# at far enough.

Bue, great bow that looks even better in person.
Smooth draw and shot a great 10yd group right out of the box with the arrows you sent.

The Norwegian Pine arrows and the Norwegian Runes you put on the limb translation to 'Made to Jon' put this over the top for me.

It's truly an honor to have had you make this bow for me. Thank you.

Jon, I am happy you like it and that it made it safely across the Atlantic. Hope it serves you well.
All the best.
Oddbjørn.
