The bow was lettered and the first coat of Tru-Oil was applied this morning.

Correction on the draw weight - it is actually 47# @ 28". The ruler on my tree was slightly off.

i think they were in the 45-50 range. with footed shafts i usually spine them to bow weight and the weight forward makes em fly clean. dont remember the length

That should be fine Jamie. Where did the arrows end up?

Dana, there are some recent pictures of the bow on the previous page.

Gordon, that turned out nice. Is the unstrung profile still straight or did it take set from being shortened?

Ryan, it has a little string follow. But it's not bad.

 Wow you did good Gordon, Those tips are beautifull.  I still have the arrows, almost finished with them, but broke one of the points while corner notching and hadn't finished another yet. I'll try to get that last one done this week.
  Sorry I've been out of the loop lately guys. I've been going from daylight to dark for the last couple weeks and all while having a ruptured bicep.
  Thought I had dislocated my elbow 10 days ago and went to the ER but the xrays didn't show anything.  Found out this morning the bicep is ruptured. Surgery scheduled for next tuesday.
 Hunting season 13 weeks away,,,,,bummed to say the least.  I'll do my best to get my part of these projects done. Might have to get Dave to get over here to give me a hand.....  Keenan

Oh man Keenan, when it rains it pours  :( I just hate to see you having all of these problems. Don't worry about those arrows. You just take care of yourself.
