My first TD and third Bow altogether. I must say I never dreamed I could make anything like this. Thanks to all you guys that freely give advice and put on the Build Alongs without those this would never have happened.
 I was making it for myself, but turned out a little heavy for my
29.5" draw, so my hunting partner decided to take it off my hands. Turned out 51# @ 28", it's 62" NTN, Bocote and Osage
With some of Troys spliced Bocote/Osage Veneers.
 Made several minor mistakes, but it sure was a great experience. Hopefully I can get the weight down on the next one.

But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

An elitist mentality creates discord, even among the elite!
