I can see some rot along the edge below the patch. Just not good all around, especially to sell undisclosed to the buyer.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

yes,, on a positive note,, I am sure they will refund your money,,
next time,,, maybe consider buying from an individual that has a reputation for quality work,, there are lots of great wood bow makers now,, that would be glad to make you a quality bow that would be representative of what a wood bow should be,,

Dang, Drew, I feel bad for you.  Where do you live?  There is a more than fair chance one of us lives close to you and can help walk you through making something better than that!!!


Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I know Dan very well and I am sure if you contact him he will make it right. He usually makes good bows from the ones I have seen, don't know what happened here but I feel sure he will make it right if given the chance and not just ran through the dirt.
