More progress tonight, I got it on a long string and some rough tillering started. I almost did my glue-up, but decided to give it one more day. It is cold tonight, and hopefully it won't drop below freezing tomorrow. Last thing I want to do is get a bad glue up 'cause I was impatient.

Some great bows guys.  I took a couple days off but will get back after it tomorrow evening after work.  I have a plan b and c in the works.  Chrysals are a bummer but a good learner :)

Headed to the post office now to ship mine out. Had to use a scraper one last time to remove my name from the pvc tube so I could write &*&%^*(^'s name.

Nice lines on that bow skarhand.

When I got home today, there was a strange looking package on our couch.  The label read Pat B.  Then I crapped my pants.  Thank you so much Pat.  It shows me what a bow should be in every way.  The craftsmanship is exceptional.  I will take more pics tomorrow when it stops raining.  Pat also enclosed three arrows of equal beauty.  I don't know what to say.  Here is a pic when I got home.  More to come.

Matt, I'm glad she got there in good shape. She told me before she left that she was hungry for elk! She didn't care if it was a cow, a rag horn or a 400" bull, she wanted ELK!  8) Them mountains in the background look like good elk country.
 I hope she suites you well. The arrows are 11/32" poplar(shafts made by Charlie Jefferson) with the rear 9" tapered to 5/16" at the nock. One of the arrows seems to be off a little. You may or may not notice. Treat her well. I like knowing my offspring goes to good homes.  ;)  Let me know how she's treating you, too.

Thanks you soooooooooo much Pat.  I haven't got to shoot her yet.  The rain has not been letting up here for me.  But tomorrow hell or high water (pun intended ::) ) I will take some pics and see how well I know she'll shoot.  The mountains I the background do have elk.  I have a spot a little to the north.  Next year I hope it will be my year.
