Looks like he's doing great Randy, I'm anxious to see him drawing it.  Glad to hear he's turned his schoolwork around.  Tell him I expect him to show me how to flip the tips when we finally meet.  You're doing a great thing helping him.

What arrows does he have to shoot with that?

Yippee, you both did great.  Tell him congrats for me.  Can't wait to see that one in person.  Nice job on the snakeskin too.  Dang, I wish I'd have started building bows when he did...
