Apology accepted, There are allot of gracious bowyers on here that give freely of there knowledge. That has often come through much trial and error. I was a very strong willed person most of my life and have most always done what I thought best. If there is any wisdom that my age could share,
is that when I did just that, I always learned the hard way and took the long road. After a life time of learning the hard way, I am finally learning by gleaming as much info as I can from those around me with more experience. That is what makes this site so incredible is that we can learn from each other, without out having to do the trial error scenarios. I still experiment and push the limits as much as I can. and that is good as well. But I now have more bows then fire wood
thanks to the help of the PA community.
I sure wish I had this privilege when I was your age
