Drawn right on my nocking point. Top limb is a little longer than the bottom limb, I think. It’s been so long ago that I actually laid this bow out I kind of forget. It shoots okay but the arrow kinda hits my finger a little bit.  Could that be the nocking height or something else?  No I is set at 1/2 inch high, I think.

Well today is supposed to be the day 😊😊 if all goes well I will be bringing her home in a few hours, she has really improved over the last 3/4 days. I can wait to get this behind us, then maybe deal with my shoulder, been putting that off, told her we couldn’t afford to have both of us down at the same time. Thanks for all the support through this, it has meant a lot. Life is Good.😊 Pappy

Nice Sudbury style bow with a nice bend.  :OK
 I've heard some of the gum trees(Eucalyptus) make good bows and I believe you have locust planted there for erosion.

Honestly I’m surprised that a site like this has actual bowyers contributing all their secrets and sharing them with anyone who wants to read them.

I often wonder how I got here.

I’m not a computer person

I’m not a Facebook user or internet user for anything else.

I just got bit by a bug I didn’t even know existed.

I somehow found this site and jumped through the hoops to become a member.

I’m so glad I did. I found so many people who are so passionate and supportive.

I found an incredible source of information and if I couldn’t find what I was looking for. All I had to do was ask.

People like Pat B , Marc, Eric , Arvin , Dave and many others some who are not visiting the site regularly and I very much miss.

I guess what I’m saying is. I think the people like me. Who aren’t really computer savvy and really like to do things with their hands are out there.

I often wonder how many bowyers are out there that we never ever hear or see anything about.

I’m guessing a lot.

If you are out there lurking, please come into the room.

We welcome you and like Pat said . We want you to have success and we want to see your progress.

I think the only thing I enjoy more than watching someone shoot a Selfbow for the first time, is watching someone shoot a Selfbow they made for the first time.

Let’s see a bunch of guys and gals shooting their Selfbows

What we really need is activity new and old

Question answers and lot of pictures
