Hello Primitive Archers,

Last year I set a goal and the day after my archery deer season closed I started on my goal and pulled out the stave of Hackberry I aquired last summer.  I bought books (traditional bowyers bible 1-4), asked a TON of questions, and worked hard.  Some of you on here helped me a bunch and I am extremeley grateful.  Thank You.  It's time to start shooting.

Hackberry, 62", 50# @ 28"

Rennyseiwert,   That’s a very nice first bow!  Wow.  Very nice.  What wood is the lam in the handle?  Tiller looks good too.  My question is did you get lucky on your first one or did you break a few before finishing this one?  Either way that’s a nice bow.  Well done.  Welcome to pa!
