Thanks all, ohma2, falcon, PEARL, dwardo, lebhuntfish, HighEagle, Clint, IdahoMatt, Arrowind, RyanR, Mullet, owlbait, Peacebow_Coos, Badly Bent, Hrothgar, Doobs, adb, Donald, Pat B, BOWMAN53, bubby, Kevin, Blackhawk, Grady, and anybody I may have missed.
I have been shooting it for a few weeks now.  Pearl mentioned something in a post yesterday that I agree with, and it's importance is magnified on this bow.  Brace height.  I tend toward a lower brace height as a rule and that's just no bueno on this one.  6 inches sprays arrows all over the target.  7 inches (from the back) it's tame as a kitten.

The amazing thing to me is that junky piece of wood lay out in my pasture for almost 10 years. Now it has become two great looking bows!

Thanks Sasquatch. You can!  I know that because I can and I have no specials skills at all outside of bulldog tenacity. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

That's a fine looking bow and X 2 on the brace height issue.  Too low on a bow like that and it really wrecks the performance.  I hope you can will me some of that tenacity.  I am working on one now that has whoopty do's  and snakes and all sorts of nasty things going on.  It is probably out of my pay grade, but I will press on.  Seeing bows like these posted is always an inspiration.  Again, that is really a great looking bow.
