Kenny M. I'm going to make it down to your place one day to pick up supplies for another bow. Haven't decided what style yet. Hope to pick your brain some, I need all the help I can get.

One thing I learned was that bowyers earn their money building bows.lol

Looks like you did pretty darn good for your first!!

How does it shoot?

Looks awesome! Congrats on your first bow build.

Bvas, shoots pretty good. Not as good as my Pronghorn but not to shabby. I think Herbs got a few bows on me though. Lol

It looks really good.
The high spot on the arrow shelf should be in line with the deep part of the grip.

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])

Looking good there Soap...

You're lying to us.  That can't possibly be your first bow. You had to pick up those skills somewhere.

Well done!  Certainly much nicer than my first one.

Been a carpenter since high school, I have built a few self bows in the past. I've always paid close attention to design and detail of bows. I suppose this helped. There's things I know I would do different next time. Thanks for the complements.
