I can't believe how many bows you got out of that little piece, that's a master class in itself.

In our dry climate, that bow would absolutely last a lifetime and be at peak performance during the fall and winter during deer season(s).

Yeah, you might lose a few lbs of draw weight in the summer when our relative humidity goes up some, but summer is for lighter draw weights and fun shooting to work on your form. That bow would be back at full draw weight as you get serious about practicing in the early fall. 

Nice work, brother. Nice indeed!
