Title: Riser is taking shape!!!
Post by: fireman_3311 on March 21, 2007, 05:49:00 PM
Here's some pics after today's work, on my Bubinga riser!!! All the rasp work is finished, now to sand it all smooth!!! My top nock groove is a little off on one side, so need to fix that. I made a new string and shot it a bit as well!! Needs a little tuning, but I believe she's gonna be a shooter!!!

Pretty sharp Brad! Hey I don't want to alarm you but your deer target has no head. You got cannibals in MO.
