Default R/D Finished.
Ok been a busy day working on the R/D bow, finally got the limbs pulling even so I decided to get her done today.

Here she is hanging with the first coat of polly on.

I decided to go with Zebrawood for the tip and center overlays.

Cocobolo riser with Yellowheart, Buginga and Purpleheart center accent strips running vertical.



Side view of the Cocobolo.



The Zebrawood center overlay.



The limb colors are Bubinga on the front and Purpleheart on the back of the limbs

I will take some more pics tomorrow in the daylight

It shoots real good and fast, fast enough for me to zip an arrow just over the top of the target and off into never be seen again land

Nope forgot to take one, will have to do that next time I go to the shop, it's hanging on the wall there with the TD as display models
