Congrats mike on getting a bow out of that stave.  How does it shoot?

Muskyman:
Shoots okay Dave. I probably need to tune it to the right arrows to get it shooting better. Seems faster then my hickory bow I built.. Seems to be  shooting left pretty hard. I might cut a arrow shelf into it and see if that helps it. I’m going to back it with some thin rawhide I bought. Also might try to heat treat it on a reflex form before I put the rawhide on it.
Do you back string your bow before you glue the rawhide on it? I saw someone do it on a video once. Just curious if I need to do that..
