Thankyou Hammertime, I really appreciate it! Having access to all the freely given experience available here should allow anyone with a desire to learn to create some really nice bows! :)

Now you have done it Hammertime,the roof on the bow building shed is not that tall
and now with that big head GregB may not be able to get under it.We will have to raise
the roof.  ;D

I weighed my bow yesterday with a scale I had for wine-making in grams. It weighed 593 grams which if I've converted correctly is just over 20.9 ounces.

The bow is finished and had a string only when weighed...

Marius had asked about its physical weight, and I've been tardy supplying that...

The way I shoot you would think my eyes were closed all the time.

You're supposed to open your eyes?

Yeah, I was using this bow yesterday when I shot under a jake in my back yard. I think the fact that I was standing on my driveway drawing on the gobbler in his full view might have had something to do with it! ;D

That's what happens when you get home from work, look out the window and see a gobbler standing on your drive, run down to the basement and string your bow, and then try to ease out the basement door to get a shot before he gets out of range.

Had this same scenario with a young buck 7-8 years ago, and actually got him with a bow. He just made it out of the yard before he fell. Sometimes you got to take advantage of your opportunities when they present themselves! ;D

Of course I would have preferred to get up at 3:00am, and set in a treestand for hours in the cold first if given the option. ;)

Thank you Frank, nice to have you back after a short while of unwanted distraction! ;D

I took it stump shooting a couple of times this past weekend. Lot of fun! Trying to get my shooting skills to improve a little... ;)
