I have only been on here for a couple of weeks, and find this is a great site for my new hobby. I have just finished a hickory board bow from the sawmill. Is it better to shoot it in before or after the finish?

I would go ahead and put a few dozen arrows through it before applying the finish. The tiller might change a little or you might want to make a minor adjustment in the grip, size of the nocks, etc.

Thanks I will do that. It seems that it will be a 53# @28" 68" NTN hickory.

Of course you are now obligated to show pictures of the aforementioned bow.

What JW said, ;)I always shoot them quite a bit before taking the time for finish work.

Some people love it but I hate finish work and don't want to have to do it twice.
