Well, I gotta stop shooting my trade bow in before I ruin what few arrows I have left.  Here's some indoor shots from 15 yards today...I scared the nock off of one arrow       I've got the handle contoured and am ready for final sanding, finish, etc.  

[Pat B]

Pretty impressive numbers Kenny!
4est, good shooting. You can fix that arrow with a footing and new nock! d;^)

[KellyG]

Man these bows are pretty and they shoot well. Talk about cake and eating it too.

[kennym]

Thanks Pat, That is with a shooting machine with mechanical release,so you can take off 5 fps  for real world!

[scottm]

Dang Kenny those numbers are very impressive!Even with -5 pounds for finger release thats still very fast in my book. 4east thats exactly why i always shoot at the nock of the first arrow i shoot.That way I know there is no chance of me hitting it! LOL! Nice work Fellas!

[twitchstick]

Kenny and 4est nice work you two are givivng me a lot to shoot for!

Now far as my trade bow it's been real crazy for me lately with spring chores,honey-do's and a father inlaw that got beat up pretty bad by a cow while calving. I have been working on a reducing down a couple juniper staves and shaped & back a board bow but just haven't had time to take some pic's and post them yet.
One of the juniper staves is dry enough to start on for ******* and I will save the board bow for a back up plan. If I finish putting back my kitchen I have been remodling I will post some pic's today.

[Trux Turning]

Nice work Guys!! There will be some happy recipients.

[fish n chicks]

Wow I think 4est's practice arrows are nicer than my hunting bows!

[DVSHUNTER]

I tried to get a few decent pics. I'm going to have to wait for better weather for the rest.

[Dan Landis]

Kenny, Those numbers are quite impressive.  

4est, it looks you are a shooting machine.

Nice work guys.....Dan

[bjansen]

Nice bow and great numbers Kenny!

[JJB]

You all have some serious talent!  I'm enjoying seeing all of your work.  I'm going to have to dust off all my stuff and get back at it, thanks for the motivation.

Thanks guys, didja notice what an extra inch or 2 does for the numbers?

Folks should think about this when buying a bow they can't reach full draw with! LOL

Same speed with a lighter bow and more accuracy to boot!(Not that I shoot worth a crap)  :D
