Looks great Buckskinner. Tiller looks good. Bow doesn’t look overdressed at all. That one should last you a good long time.

PS like the Cherokee Two Fletch

 I had a hunch you would notice that arrow...  Really like them and have yet to break a fletching.  I am amazed at the toughness of that style of fletching, they look so delicate.

TimmyDeNorCal:
A damn nice recurve.

Tiller looks really nice, too.

My first recurve has a slightly tighter radius on the hooks and it is a nice performer. I went for much tighter recurves the next go ‘round - after reading “The Ol Bowhunter” about Chet Stevenson and seeing some of his extreme recurves! - and it feels different throughout the draw...but they both shoot well.

If you are anything like the rest of us, your next bow is already underway...so take a crack at tighter hooks with her.

And you are absolutely correct - the wealth of knowledge here allows us newer people to turn out shooters waaaay earlier in our bow-building careers!! All of these guys here have made it so that the new guys do not have to spend a decade burning through hundreds of staves to get to the point where we are turning out solid bows. Every bow I build think about how amazing it is to be a newer bowyer these days.
