Haley's pretty determined when she gets her mind set...when she first started shooting the string popped her arm a couple of times and raised a good welp, she just shook it off and kept at it. Can't keep a good girl down!  ;)

haley,  i was just wondering what the age of the wood was and if you had very much string follow to occur?  i like the bow design very much.  it is really a nice looking bow.

Luke I can answer that for you,the wood was Hickory cut in 04 and don't have any string follow.
she put about 2 inches of reflex in it to start with and after shooting it,it is flat.After resting about 30 min. it holds about 1/2 inch of reflex.We told her from the start she had to keep it dry and she did a good job doing that. I think she put about 10 coats of sealer on it.Several Tru oil and then several more Polly. :)

David, you did good matching that iris color with her bow color...pretty sure that's a good example of what inspired her color selection. :)
