Nice one mate I shall check it out and appreciate the tip. It's funny how the pursuit of a primitive craft can sometimes drag us into the 21st century! :)

Thanks fellas I knew I could rely on th PA community. :)
I see what you mean about the weak spot on the upper limb - should I scrape the upper fade?
Falcon I'll tell her someone said that and she'll blush :)

Take about 10 scrapes just outside the fade (not the fade itself, unless it`s a bendy handle. you don`t want the fade to take set as it will cause excessive
string follow on the tips). pull the bow about 30 times and then check the bend. Continue on until it bends evenly.
Good luck!
