The only thing straight on that bow is the string! Quite an accomplishment and a beautiful bow! How does it shoot? :)

Thanks tpoof


Greg, I was shooting this bow in with 830gr arrows spined 85-90, and she was stacking them, and lounching them with plenty speed (I would comfortably use them hunting), once I get a set of 600-650gr properly spined, this bow will be a killing machine

i could tell how frustrated you were when you posted a thread saying the bugs chewed up your bowstaves! ...and now: WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!!!
i keep coming back to this thread and it makes me happy! ...and you're right: bowmaking IS a privilege!
