I've been watching your build-a-long with interest.  The finished product pics were well worth the wait.  Well done Sir!  Josh

First selfbow comes in at 115lb draw.  Not too many people can say that.  Nice work Cam.

Wow.  Great job Cam,  that sure turned out great for your first selfbow.  That full draw......man.  I couldn't pull that thing past my elbow let alone my cheek.

Real nice bow, that full draw on the tree shows some smooth bend for sure. I'm guessing I could draw that sucker back with ease, to about 14". ;)
