Got a bow from Badger, forgot to tell him I'm left handed, soo! I had to do a bit of fixing, no cutting, just some fitting and glue, and leather.  Seems to shoot pretty good, after another test firing, I will add a cover to the grip, probably from the same elk hide as the shelf pad.

I have one of Badgers bows and it flat out smokes and arrow. In my opinion it gives up nothing to any glass longbow I've ever shot.

I'll go along with that!  I bare shafted 3 trade shafts at about 15 yards, and sent one into the group wonky and shattered 2 of the 3. Nice group though, I did the same thing wrong each shot!   Moral - bare shaft test on very large target butts! >:D, or one shaft at a time!
