so...... ryoon wheres my money ;D
ill have full draw tomorrow when someone else is awake
btw, thank you again pat for the wood, this is my favorite bow right now, it shoots nice, little hand shock, fast and light, i haven't weighed it yet, but my guess is 80-90, the other day i shot it around 225 yards
thanks for the patience everyone and all the help, it really was invaluable

Nice job with the horn nocks. What kind of finish did you use? NO FULL DRAW?! That's the money shot!  ;D

i tried using a hand rubbed beeswax finish, but this summer went from close to 100 and humid on day to dry the next to oppressive humidity, and so on( we actually set a new high temp for my area)
thanks

That looks really nice fish! You can almost divine the tiller from the braced profile. Really nice!

The problem with digging a big holeversion is transporting the hole, I tried carrying one in my car but it just fell through the floor ::)

A friend in North Dakota had a welldriller go 1,800 ft deep without hitting water.  I bought the dry well, pulled it up and cut it in 24" lengths and sold it as brand new pre-dug post holes to some city folks, they never knew it was used hole!  I still have some left over and can sell lengths pretty cheap because they weigh next to nothing and are inexpensive to ship. 

Fishhead, nice bow.  I'd have never guessed white ash would hold up to that kind of draw weight!  Good for you!
