been workin on it more. it was comeing along nicely untill i somehow managed to scrape a darn hinge in one of the limbs. by the time i got it all straightened back out i think it might be a little light, not sure if im going to keep workin on it or just shorten it, lighten it, and give it to my future little step brother. waiting on mr. kieth's advice, lol. here are some pics.


marked the "DO NOT TOUCH" hingeing part with sharpie


here it is beding a little bit after i got it streightend out. still not perfect, but this is where it is right now.
lets just shoot it

it's bending enough it should go to a shorter string, at least 2" or 3" brace height
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
