I think you handled that kink in the limb just right. That looks great Manny.

Very nice looking bow!Now I have to go get the guava bow that you made for me a shoot it!
With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

Thanks guys,

I really dislike full draw pics taken on a tree (unless it's a simmetrical bow, and even than...)

the string is pulled a good 3" from where the nocking point is and the pressure on the handle isn't anything like mine,...guess I gotta start training someone to take full draw pics ;D ;D ;D
