 ;D ;D ;D I knew you could do it!
 Looks good to me and I'm glad it shoots good for ya.  After seeing how you transformed that stave into a nice bow, I may just have to try some more Elm.   Thanks for posting it.  Saw Filer

Beautiful bow man. tiller looks great, very smooth. i would love to find some elm, but around here there is some disease killing them all. >:( in all my wood hunting outings, ive seen maybe 1 or 2 that wernt dead, and they were iffy. nice job on yours though!

  Good looking bow Dan. Everytime I looked you were scraping wood. You were busy. I have to agree, it should pull more than that. But I see where a little work on that right limb will get a little more pull. I hate to ask a maybe dumb question,  :-\especially as long as you have been doing this, but are you measuring the draw from the back or the belly?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks, Pappy and Shannon.  Mullet, I measure the draw the middle of the handle (depth-wise).  Is that not right?
