I would keep an eye on the overlays I used ERC for a tip overlay once it didn't last long, but those were pin nocks so you may not have a problem

Nice bow hammertime.  I like that full draw shot.  Looks like it wants to send that arrow on its way in a hurry!

I'd really like to get a close look or maybe even give that bow a shot. I don't have high hopes as I reckon if I ask Hammertime, he will say" you can't touch this"! :D

I really think he should have used a takedown sleeve, when he's finshed shooting he could say" break it down... Hammertime". ;D

I used the name from working in construction and i am more of a country music fan but thanks Hamish that is good...thanks guys i do really like the bow,started tillering back in march,getting slow i guess.I was going to back it but saw Pappys yew r/d that had checks  in it I figured I was good to go leaving it unbacked...hopefully taking it to the woods this fall-Hammertime

Hi Hammertime, I hope no offense was taken. The world is a better place for the occasional MC Hammer tune, and a nice yew bow too. :) For some reason I have had "You cant touch this!" going on in my head as an ear worm, it hasn't gotten annoying...yet. :o
