Wowsy, that was quick!! Takes me a month just to think about it after I'm done with the prep work, I wouldn't full draw or shoot it until you get that tiller evened out thopugh.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Send the photos to me Tyke. I'll resize them and send them back.

They aren't the best, but they shoot, and they are hand made!  :-\
