Thanks a ton guys,  it's a fun little bow.

Yeah Pat,  I was concerned about the nocking point myself when I done it. I wouldn't do that on a bow that was much over 25 to 30 pounds.
I probably won't build one like this again.  But it doesn't seem to be a problem with this particular bow.  I have put a bunch of arrows through her with no issues.

Please, what dimensions ya got for that bent stick?

Nice gesture Pat.In the past I've always donated bows at the auction too for the club.Very nice bow for some youngster there though.They'll parade that one around pretty proud I'd say.Not all that easy to make either.Nice job.
