Title: My second bow
Post by: Blaflair2 on September 16, 2013, 01:40:56 pm

This is a pic of me shooting it in? The tiller look good? I tried holding it straight up and down so the profile wasn't distorted.

Criticism is appreciated. Thanks- Bruce

At that length you could stiffen the handle up a bit more, but your not too bad from my seat.

The handle was already super thin on the stave so I had to work with it. I was shooting it with a s#$$$ string till I get mine for it. It shoots good. I need to et some wood arrows though. The graphite doesn't bend around the handle. But it's what I got ATM

Yeah I agree with the majority of you guys. It looks FINE but it could bend a little more in the outer parts of limb and less in the middle
