Frank, all your bows are a treat to see. This is a beautiful job all the way around.

I'd love to see some shots of your house, too.

you can attach a little thread through the hole and the ear of the string that serves as string keeper!

yes justin, the bow does shoot sweet. personnally i'm really sencitive for handshock and i need to shoot heavy arrows with the bow, but benny didn't mention anything about handshock when he first shot it and he is used to a fiberglass recurve, so i'd say that's okay...

again everybody thank you for the compliments!
