Beat my previous record and took a bow from long string to full brace tillered in less than a day! There's still some fine-tuning to be done, and it's got a little bit of handshock, but I'll see about fixing those things tomorrow. I'm actually selling this one, so I'm trying to get it up to par.

Despite the handshock, though, she flings arrows like a fiend. REALLY fast, at least by my standards, and surprisingly accurate even without an arrow rest. Probably drawing about #40 @28 now, hoping to drop that down to about #35.

There's also about 2" of string follow, but meh, you can't always win the whole kit and kaboodle.  :-\

Being the first really decent day We've had here in Mid-Michigan (Sunny & low 40's) Wirwicki and I slipped out of His shop, and did some stump shooting. Quite a few critters (stumps) fell to well placed arrows. Was good to be out loosing some shafts - a good time was had by all ! No broken or lost arrows/warm temps and sharing the outdoors with a Great Friend - PRICELESS. Bob
"May the Gods give Us the strength to draw the string to the cheek, the arrow to the barb and loose the flying shaft, so long as life may last." Saxon Pope - 1923.

All I did today was get stuff ready for a Bownanza tomorrow at a buddys place. Always fun when a bunch of stick bow building guys hook up for a day of making bows, bull shitten, eating, and having a couple cold ones. Even gonna get to see ole Blackhawk again tomorrow, always a trip there:)

Took a drive out in the country, and found a nice stand of river cane, now just have to figure out how to get permission to cut it.

I scouted some local woods for hidden bows.  Nothing worth getting the Town permit for.

Well I sure hope some one else was working it, cause I know with anything that has more than one button, or knob on it, you are lost.  Helpless I tell you, helpless.  Promise you one thing????  When you retire, you will not be on here as much????????
