 Looks like you had a lot of successful "firsts".  Nice work!  I bet the wife is delighted too.  You made some brownie points with this bow.

I like it. You covered the bases. Good bow length/draw length, good tiller and good fades. That's a good bow!

Great job!  I agree with PD.  That is a complete bow.  And a nice one at that.  I bet she is pleased!
