Yay!!!!! Thank you that is us all done barring the last photographs.  Thank you to everyone and I do mean EVERYONE who contributed to this junior trade, it’s been an honour and a privilege.  Mafort, my apologies I had no idea my messages were full, I shall scuttle off in shame and clear out my inbox post-haste.  All being well, I hope we can do it all again next year, so if you’ve been inspired, watch this space mid January and we’ll have another go.

A little over 50 lbs. I’ll be honest I was so freaked out looking at how much it was bent I don’t remember exactly. Next time I’ll write it down. 51-52 lbs I think.
Yeah Aaron, got to love them snakey bows.

Hows that bow shooting for you?

Haven’t shot it much Sleek but what I did it seems to shoot pretty good. I’ll probably sand it some and put some tru oil on it before I start shooting it more. Probably next spring. Seems to be fast but I don’t have a chronograph and I probably need some arrows for it. It’s a nice bow and I love it, thanks for making it for me.
