I am just about done making my 2 nephews first bows. These are the second, and third bows that I have ever finished (Or will finish). They are both just small board bows. The one that is shooting is so dang fun to shoot. It pulls close to 30#, and I have made a few 15.5 inch bamboo arrows for it. I let a friend shoot it and he pulled it close to 22 inches, far more than I intended. The problem is this, I really like it, and I really don't want to give it away. I'm sure when he is shooting it this next weekend it will be worth it, but it is going to be tough. I guess he is lucky that I love him so much. I'll post some photos of them tomorrow.
