Success!!!
« on: March 31, 2014, 12:31:51 am »
Finally got one to shoot. This bow I love because I felled the tree last year off our property with my wife and friend. Carried it to see a friend of mine Hatchet bow Dan. He helped with plenty of hands on advice. Well after an afternoon with the rasp. We got her to bend. I carried her home and with the help of my hunting partner " 9 year old daughter " decided on a color. Which was done with simple food coloring. The black was basic craft paint. With the help of Will H, bubby, BOWMAN53, and Clean_Missed I was able to make a grip from one of my wife's old purses. ( with permission of course ).  Hope guys like it; she turned out 45# @29. I had thought about taking the tips of and renock her to get a few more pounds. Please tell me what you think. Thanks to all the guys on here for all the help if it wasn't for you guys I would still just be reading books and watching videos. Hope to see you all at the Tenn. Classic.

Congratulations! I really like the paint and design on the back, Nice bend and I wouldn't change a thing. If you do decide to pike it a few inches you may gain 4-5 lbs. Nice like it is though...
