Cocobolo body, maple burl riser and stock. The spring is two limbs of osage, hickory and .050 glass with cocobolo tips. It has a simple two piece trigger but it works very well for a number of reasons. The trigger is open enough to accept two fingers but the pull is only about 8 lbs. The one peice trigger and catch is made from a heavy 1" slab of stainless and has a huge amount of leverage. The trigger stop safety clicks into place with a solid positive sound and works flawlessly. It's still an open nut bow and there's no safety for stupid.
I have to say I really enjoy this little bow and have worn out a quickly made string testing it out. It's deadly accurate with 16" bolts out to about 40 yards which is where the 300 grain arrows start to drop past the sight point. This could be overcome with a taller sight but I can't see much point trying to shoot long range with such a little bow. 80 lbs, 8" power stroke, 29" ntn...maybe in the 130-150 fps range? The straight wood bow is surprisingly snappy and it has virtually no rail friction on the serving. Safety only comes off to shoot.
