Awesome and thanks.  That is about what I thought.  Going to try for 55#  can always come down. I don't think I should have an issue with that. Yes we are making everything we take except clothing.  If you can't make you dont need it scenario.  Game calls and stands included.  Think this year might be a bit tight due to everything going on and learning a new discipline.  I won't go if not proficient or not comfortable. Besides the 3 I shot this year saved us.   I have 178 acres of very private land so getting close isn't an issue so if all goes well and usual tags get punched may try by the end of the season.  Lot of stuff as to be made and made correctly to pull it off. Thank you both for a jumping off point.  I appreciate it.

classic piramid bow is ideal as a start

for your broadheads consider bone points. easier to make than stone points and as much as effective
or spoon trade points if your bet let you use them

I know a guy who killed his first doe with a selfbow a couple of years ago. He said it was more exciting killing that doe than any buck he had killed with a compound or gun and he has a lot of kills under his belt.

My advice is,,,Dont worry about any hunting or any bets until you are confident and comfortable that the bow and arrows you have made,are worthy and so are your abilities with them...It takes as long as it takes..
