That's a fine looking bend, young man. Congrats!

More than respectable showing for a first effort!  In fact, heck of a bow PERIOD!!

Something tells me that bow is gonna ruin your username.  Better find out if RealShooter is taken!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I used my first bow as firewood when I was learning to do friction fires. I think the next two or three were used for that also.

This bow is quite impressive even if it were your third or fourth.  8)
