Thanks for the compliments, It shoots real well.  It hits the target so much harder than my compound bow, and its a pound lighter.  I guess I'm hooked! ;) I call the tips "pool cue tips" LOL. ;D

Unusually good outcome of a first bow.  You must be a good wood craftsman generally.  Stitching on the leather is enviable to me.

That's a fine looking bow - you did really well for your first one. I'll bet that compound bow of yours won't see much more daylight.

Congratulations on a job well done.   When I started out I tested my own creations against a Bear Kodiak and yes It's now a wall hanger in my workshop.
