You did a great job Dana, the bows are beautifull. I love the tips and the birch bark is really nice. Justin

Thanks guys your coments mean an awful lot to me. This was a fun prject for me, I also made 3 arrows apiece for the adult bows.
Scott is a compound shooter maybe this will bring him over. Sara has never shot a bow, and Lilli is a fantastic kid with a great sense of humor.
She is a pleasure to have around the house. Ya Shannon dats a Yooper eh ;) I was wearing my sunday best also ;D
We can't do enough for the fine men and women that have served our country in my opinion, Scott's done 3 tours and Sara is on her first.
Looks like it might be a June wedding can't wait to put the bows in thier hands and get them shooting. ;D

Hi Dana, My name is Goldylocks (I have a 28" draw) and I really like the three bears bows.  Do I get one too!!??  Excellent looking bows.  I really like the tips and the backing on baby bear.  Your work is very inspiring.  I hope your family will get a lot of enjoyment from their new gifts.  I think you're everyone's favorite uncle. 8)  Joe

Looks like a fine set of bows to me. All bookmarked for Jan Self Bow of the Month, too.
You've got the same problem I've got. Too much snow and I can't shoot arrows outside.

The first one shoots too hard.  The second one shoots too soft.  But that third one is just right.  Great work.  I confess that I don't know what the shape of your maker's mark is.
