as long as it's hand made muffin, i've made some of those, gave one to a buddy that was wanting to try mounted shooting, figured if he wants to keep it up i'll make him a wood shorty, those thinga are great for bow fishing dont matter if it gets wet, Bub

yeah, only major weakness they have is the sun... 100% hand made(minus materials)  but in general i liked how it shoots. I have some touch ups to do on the handle and i need to make a string for it thats more official. I think it might be a nice gift weather its bowfishing or target practice or horseback shooting.

I am at a loss as to what im going to do for my recipient now! that was all working in my favor until a few hrs ago. Maybe arrows? idk.
  If its me,A big bag of 100$ bills would be ok,,,,,,,just sayin.   ::)

Since one of the rules is that everything has to be home made that may be slightly....problematic, so to speak.
  There is that,,   :(

One of the bows I am working on is coming around to the recipients specs, but man am I getting attached to it.  But like you said Bryce, that smile will make it all worth it.

Ok, finally got my idea nailed down and in progress. I'm making my giftee a shooting ensemble. Modified English Archers bag, bow case and a surprise item. I'll post some pics as I make more progress and my IT person ( wife ) speaks to me again - kind of pissed her off this am,  ;D. Course when dealing with women, that aint hard to do, sometimes all you have to do is exist  >:D.

Oh wow!  I won't be upset if I am the recipient!

I spent an hour today on the woodworking part of my gift.  I'm using NO powertools, as usual.  Cutting a board off straight and all is more difficult than tillering a character laden osage airplane propeller!  The wooden boards were pieced together nicely with pegs and glue, no modern fasteners.  Now to decide how to finish the wood and put the Primitive Archery Magazine's logo on it!  There will be pics...but just teasers for now!
