Oh...  I just saw this topic replicates that one:
http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=125;t=012079

Sorry for that!  

There, are a little more pictures, with finish in bow...

I use araldite glue in tips ( Aw 106 ) and limbs...

The  bow shot sweet...  not very fast, but I like it...   :)

Thanks guys!

Cheers
