Keegan, whats your brothers name? Welcome to the tribe "Keegans Brother" . We cannot have too many guys that are learning the way of crafting the wooden bow. I think if we can keep it alive mankind will be better for it. I understand wanting to shoot a little heavier bow in the 60-65 range. I started out with a 45 and am shooting a 60 right now and the arrow trajectory is flatter. I realize as we get older or shoot less that it is harder to do that but for now thats a good weight range for me as well. I also found that it requires I be more mechanically sound with my form, therefore increasing my accuracy. Just so long as it isn't such a strain that its no longer fun.  Danny

Kyle, my brotehr, has definately gotten the bug. He started reading some of my books, Hunting the Hard Way and the TBB's :). He also set up his own account for PA ;D!

He'll be able to submit his own bow next time ;).

Your bro Kyle did great! I wish my first bow had been this fine.

And the hair is cool - maybe Finnish Native's dobbelganger :)

I should post more. Kegan is just a MACHINE when it comes to making bows. I really like the twists in the upper limb  8)

Thanks guys :).

Finnish Native- Everytime I finish a bow I come up with another idea that I want to test out... suddenly I'm building another one :o! I have very little control over it :). But maybe with my brother using the shop to build his bows, I might be forced ot slow down- otherwise all the trees on our property are in danger :).

I've also got another kid at school into bow building. I lent him my copy of The Bent Stick. I fully plan on "infecting" everyone around me ;D!
