Very nice work Ray!  WIsh I had the technical ability and patience!  Maybe next winter after I retire I'll give it a shot.  In the mean time I have a new longbow coming from JD Lund at Whisperstik that should be here in a few weeks....  :IBCOOL:  That'll be #3 for me to go with my 2 recurves.... Wife is starting to look at me funny....  :yike:

Thanks NWW. I heard those whisperstick's are fine bows. I'd love to see it when you get it.

No, I don't know anyone at Raptor Archery.

I took the bow out this morning and gave it a dozen or so arrows. It was launching them arrows like cruise missiles. I like this one. It turned out at 67 lbs @ 28 inches.

That looks neat. What kind of wood is he/she using?

Bamboo core,   it is myrtle wood,  figured bubinga and osage ( I think).
