This is my 1st real survivor bow. It's Rawhide backed Ash Flat Bow 64" n-n pulls 48#@my 24 1/4" Draw. I shot it over 300x before backing but wanted some cheap insurance. I would like to thank Marc for answering my many questions. It isn't perfect was still a leaning tree 12-7-15. I split removed bark and cambium layer and roughed to floor tiller then left in shop with in floor heat at 63 degrees for 8 weeks. Then I slowly tillered removing a little wood every day for about 2 weeks. It does have alittle set but I love how it shoots have well over 1000 arrow through her now.

Cool looking bow.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
