Title: hbi...jacks bow
Post by: soy on October 28, 2013, 01:41:11 am

First glue up that made it ;D hickory backed ipe perry reflex...don't know the weight just tillerd to the point that my boy could just reach full draw with a little effort so he could grow into it ;) must say I am shocked at just how fast it shoots!!! no tip overlays or skins on this one :o this is my first of this design so let me know where it needs improvement thanks ;)
