yeah, to balance out the look's of the bow, just the thread wrap, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Small update on the bow. I just finished shooting it in, and let me tell you, it shoots like a dream! for the first three rounds 5/6 were on the target(a small 1ft by 1.5 ft box) after those first rounds my accuracy dropped off as i tried to aim  ::) checked tiller and its the same, what a champ!
