It's not perfect, but I'm pleased. I've learned a lot and have better confidence about my skills. I'm just relieved its not in two pieces (or more).

Nice job. I like the green. What is the poundage?

Tiller looks nice on that one. So many first timers come on here with hinges and stiff spots all over the place.

Nice bow, and at that length if you wanted to raise the poundage you could pike it. But I would not I would just shoot it and build another. :)
