Cool! I've thought several times about trying to make my own.

I would personally like to see which members of this trade will be at MOJAM. It would be cool if we could get together.

I'm planning on being there. It's my goal to have the bow finished by MoJam so if my guy is there I can give it to him in person. It's been pulled to 16" so far, and 12" to go and I plan to do some playing with it tonight after work.

So, it rained yesterday afternoon, but we got a small break in the showers while my brother was over.  Quickly, we ran out to the back yard a fired off just a couple shots with my trade bow I am building for @%^*#$|+!.  We had very little time so Nathan just nocked an arrow quickly and let it fly across the full length of my practice lane toward the target. (25 - 30 yards)  The shot was perfectly silent and all that could be heard was the fletchings swimming through the air followed by a hard authoritative thump into the target.  Neither Nathan nor I are even respectable shots normally, ...so this just had to have a picture taken!

Then he tried to persuade me to make another bow for the trade and give him this one.  I'm feeling pretty good about this bow...   ;D   ;D   ;D
