Tiller looks darn good, Badger. As you know I love that design. Looks like you added a bit of reflex to the tips which has been picked up above. As for the chrysalling, that's the way it goes. Getting poplar to 30 inches is a pretty good accomplishment. As for flight shooting, if I could find a field around here in S NH that doesn't have a house on it now I'd be a joyful participant. Welcome back, Dan. Jawge

We've made a bunch of lighter weight,50lbs,ELB's from hickory backed Red cedar.."Perry Reflex" sometimes up to 4"...all had great cast... the trick of not getting fretting, is to use a thinner backing..the thicker less stretch backings just put too much compression on the belly, even the flatter bellies... we made some light elb's with 1/4" hickory backing on Purpleheart .. dumb dumb ... all fretted badly ..if you think your backing is too thin for safety , we just glue a layer of polyesther camo net on that ... easier to get than that snake ... :o deer don't know the difference...hahahahaha

I would LOVE to go to a flight shoot if it weren't in the middle of Elk, Deer, and Bear season. If that ever changes--I'm there.

Badger:
J.D. I have heard a lot of guys say the same thing, we should start our own flight shooting association with classes more tailored toward what we do in primitive. Also have more flight shoots available to guys who can't travel 3,000 miles. Steve
