Your right Pappy, it does take much work on the sleeves to go from being to tight to pull apart to to loose to where they just fall apart. You definitely need a lot of patience to get a good fit.

I decided to leave it as is and put the 1st coat of Truoil on it.

I shot the bow some more with no changes from my original post, so decided to leave well enough alone.
Finished with 5 coats of Truoil, leather handle wrap, and matching leather on shelf and side plate.

Great job on that bow. I love the extra mass the sleeves give you on those two-piece takedown bows. Beautiful work!

Thanks Hamish and Will. Took it out today to our 1st 3d shoot of the year. Was pretty happy with the way it shot.
