Thanks guys!  Sidewinder, it shoots great in my opinion, although I might change my mind if I got the chance to shoot some of the bows I see on here.  This is the fourth adult-weight bow I have successfully completed, and the second one I have bothered putting a finish on.  The first Osage I finished has seen pretty good use for three years, especially the last year when I really tried not to use my glass longbow much at all.  This one shoots a whole lot better than that first one ever did - faster, easier to shoot accurately, and less hand shock. 

Pappy, I do hope to get a bit faster, but it seems that I have trouble finishing projects sometimes...also, when I get to final tiller and shooting in, I think I get too scared of messing up.  I had a really nice elm bow to that stage this summer and messed it up by taking too much off the lower limb while I was balancing it.  Boy that made me mad (and slower)!
