Hey there, looks like I missed out on the initial drama  >:D
Anyhoo, If that thing is drawing 60# and barely to brace, I have to ask myself....How dang big is your daughter!!! Whoa Nelly!!

Just one serious thought though. I completely agree that one should never give a kid a dangerous bow. I once drew an ERC bow to show a guy how it was and it blew up in my living room with my 5 year old daughter in there. Bits flew and I realized how fortunate I (and my daughter) was that she did not get permanently scarred or blinded or just even a regular old hurt and I will never be so careless again.

Couldn't you rasp away that one side until the knot is gone and just make the whole bow narrower with no knot at all? I guess it could still maybe hit the 20# + range, but then I'm no expert on screwing things up and then trying to make them still work LOLOLOLO hahahahaha

Best wishes and probably "my condolences" as well. But mostly congratulations on the next baby!!! Awesome

PS: don't let these guys get under your skin. Cut em some slack. Most were raised in barns or back sheds eating bugs for breakfast and worms for lunch (wait, that was me) But any way, they mean well but they're sometimes a little unpolished. They do  know a whooooole lot about bows though.

Certainly not you Pap  ;) You know a whole lot and you're polish.

I see now you already have it down to the 20# range so my idea is too late. Sorry for not catching that the first time through.

Your bow is not braced yet?
Yes looks like Pacific Dogwood is free game, thanks for the info.
There's too much good yew to cut around here though, not sure if I could spare the room 😉
And congrats on the kid, my wife is pregnant as well 😀
Well congrats on the pregnancy goat!   That's an exciting time.  You are very lucky to be blessed with such responsibility. Looks like there will be a little Billy Goat running around soon with a bow in hand.  I bet you and the misses are glad you took that road trip earlier this year!

Haha thanks a lot Aaron.  We found out shortly after we got home.
We are both very excited, and of course I've already made a 20" bow
