Nice work John.I went down to the goodwill store.Bought an old car coat and used that for a pattern.Worked great.You ought to be able to cinch those seams up tighter than a nats ass using that buffalo backstrap I gave ya.

Beadman I had a great time at your place yesterday working that twisted limb of a bow. Thanks for having me over. Thank you for the backstrap. That should really do the trick on that seam. Shaun had me over this morning to hunt and I saw 5 deer all out at about 50 yards. It was real cold about down to zero. I handled it well with the right clothes. I was able to stay in the stand till 9:45. 

BowEd:
Good for you John.It's not about the kill all the time for sure.
I'll do my best to make good use of those nice points you made on my dogwoods.
