Thanks guys. I guess I understand the form thing a little more. I'll try lowering my elbow and see if I like it.
EDIT: So, as expected the the bottom limb busted but I was surprised that I was able to get around 70 arrows through it with that crappy patch. I'm so excited that I went ahead and split my hackberry stave and with luck I'll be working on it next month. For now I'm making a small , kid sized, bow to practice tiller and if it turns out I can give it to some kid or wait until my nephew is old enough to shoot.
You guys have been really encouraging and helpful! Thanks so much!
