Title: Learning curve with pictures.
Post by: Pete W on April 04, 2010, 12:48:00 PM
I have been geting my feet wet this past winter, and so far I am feeling good about the results.
Each bow gives me more confidence, and enjoyment.
Here are some shots of what I have been able to do lately. They all turned out to shoot good, and without the dreaded hand shock I desperately wanted to avoid.
There is lots to learn, but thanks to the advice I received here I have been succesfull in making a bow that shoots.

Thanks for all the help, and advice. My journey is just starting.
