Thanks F-Manny,beautiful bow,almost done with the fine tuning,very close now of the sweet spot.What a shooter! As for the erras,I'm working on 6 more dozens now,36 POC and 36 Hexshaft,this should do it for a while    :bigsmyl:  I like making erras. You are going west soon also to get your new bow? Call me before you take the drive,I live 10 minutes from the 401,maybe we can meet at Tim's for a good coffee?

Hello David,

Fun you are saying that!
Coming home from work with my wife, we were talking on our next trip to your lovely part of the US!   ;)  

It'll be probably beginning of September because of work and other family stuff, and sure enough there is room for Serge and his bows   :)
