Pappy I built one you could drop a half dollar through the top mid limb. It had good cast and a lady won the Arkansas longbow shoot with it. But it was full of shock!!!! Lots of character though.

First, thank you again for sending them! Only one was ripe enough to ripenenoigh by sitting to eat. The others rotted, but I plucked the seeds from them as well. The flavor was good, but obvious it was under ripe. They are good enough that im encouraged to try them again when they are ripen enough to eat directly after harvest, they seem like a wonderful fruit.

Nice Arvin, I have never found one with a hole had any more shock than any other, yes you make it wider to go around the knot hole but you take away the mass of the hole so if you measure the limb and take away the hole it is about the same. Anyway love them characters bows and as I figured, you done it justice. Pappy

Curious if you got to try the pawpaws I sent you and your verdict on them. I only tried one and am still undecided. Going to try some next year now that I’m a little more familiar with how, when to harvest them. I’m thinking the ones I tried were not 100 percent ripe.
