Thanks Matt. It was tough getting weight from it.

Looks like we are going to have a plaque made to add a winning name to each year. Which means we can snip a few more trees this year and do it all again in 2017 :).  We can try to switch species for 2017 if you guys want to.

Elm is probably the best of the bow woods out there, Matt. I have spied some HHB, but not much and not that great quality wise. Most all of the maple is soft and no good for bows.

I won't be able to make a bow out of the elm stave I got last year yet. I have some water damage I am trying to repair in my trailer before then so I will be busy with that. I hope to be able to finish my daughters new surprise bow before then but, I am having doubts. This summer has been really busy. See you guys in a couple weeks.
