That bow needs to be shot and the next one started. Band saws kill lots of bows so use yours more gingerly the next time.

Nice job on your first,Ya I have runied a few on the saw,I don't cut them near as close as I use to.Rough them in and rasp and scraper from then on.Congrats on you first.You might want to make the handle a little shorter on the next,keep all the working limb you can for that draw length.

Nice first, keep up the good work. I'd get that upper limb bending more like the lower, but hey, build another, boards are cheap.
