I'll sheepishly post some pictures of me with this superb bow. I modified it some, so don't be hating! I put in an arrow rest, leather wrapped grip, buffalo horn tips, sanded all edges down, added some reflex with dry heat. It actually pulls with the same weight as before, and the wood I removed from parts of it just makes the bow feel like it's mine. I'm shooting it tomorrow in an event here in San Diego, and taking it to Alaska on a moose guiding trip on Tuesday.
Thanks so much. I love the bow!

Nice job on a very challenging stave. Way to go pulling it off. :)

Thanks pappy. I really appreciate that! But honestly,  that stave WANTED to be a bow. It was easy. Especially with help from Pat.

Man, Chadwick,  I gadda say, you sure didnt hurt that bow none. Quite honestly,  I like it and am glad it was a raw enough bow gor you to modify an make it your own. Nice job on those tips by the way.  So, hows it feel with that leather wrap? When I made the handle it fell perfectly in my hand,  does the wrap help with fit and comfort for you?  Btw, what is your draw length? I hope I didnt get it wrong?

Thanks man.
My draw length is 26.5 on a good day. I was down to 25" because of poor form, but I'm working on it. It's a great bow for my draw length. The handle wrap is really just something I like for all my bows, and it covers the leather arrow rest I glued on. It felt great before, and still does.

Your welcome buddy! Anytime! I'm glad I got to see that ungodly stave turn into that gem! Patrick
