It's 4" long and deep enough to give me the jitters but I've come so far with this bloody thing that if I give up now just because of a stupid little splinter I'll regret it forever.
You're right, there must be some bad karma floatin' around...

That's insane.
WillS:
What's insane is that it's broken or developed a fault three times now (two belly splinters and one serious delamination) and it's still going! It's held together by superglue and crossed fingers now. It'll probably shoot like a damp sponge...

WillS:
Cheers John. Bit more work to do yet, still need more movement in the outer third of each limb as the middle is moving too much at the moment.
It has been down to 28" at 110lbs with no problems though, which is a good sign. Doesn't look like it'll be ready and comfortable for Marks shoot unfortunately so I'll have to skip Donington!
Gus:
Sheesh...
What a Krazy Read Through!
I got the Pop Corn going.
Sitting here on the couch with my Hard Hat, Safety Glasses and Codpiece on...
Awaiting the Full Draw Shot.
Good Luck!
