Hey guys I want to thank you all for all the positive comments on the looks of my Elk Seeker Longbow through out this bow build. Some have made positive comments on my shop and equipment also and thanks for that too.

I have some draw weight info for various draw lengths for this bow. Give or take if you know what I mean.

  • 28" - 44.5#
  • 29" - 46.7#
  • 30" - 49.3#

Awesome job. I love the last one also.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
