Way to go Dan-o!!! That's a bow to be proud of :)
Good job on your first bow! Better than my first for sure!
Now lets go get an elk!

Now get over here so we can wrap that handle ;)

I think that's a damn fine bow you've got there! Well done, sir.  8) I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

Wow, Dan, you couldn't have done a better job cleaning up that tiller.  Good for you, or bad for you if you don't like addictions.   That thing will kill anything in North America.

Thanks guys.  I shot it side by side with the osage you made me Weylin and you got me beet hands down.  I await the day I compete with you bro!  This yew is pretty quick though.  I think it's got the osage on that at least.

Nice work Dano! Good to see those young arrows found a rightful mate! 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
