Finally had the time to put some arrows through this baby today and wanted to report that she shoots as nice and smooth as she looks. Sent a whole bunch of arrows into the backyard target this afternoon and it sure does bury 'em deep, a hunting weapon for sure. The draw weight is just perfect for me as well, love it.

I think Dave should enter this one for BOM and I hope he does. I took a few more pics. today because I know he was having issues with his camera phone. Hope I captured some of the beauty in his work.
Last pic is me giving the bow the thumbs up after putting the first 60 arrows thru her and unstringing.
I would have given it two thumbs but I only had one hand free and didn't want to put the bow down. :)
I restrung it after that pic. and shot quite a few more arrows.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Very cool bow, sounds like it passed the test with flying colors
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Yep, one very cool lil stick.

I like those short, bendy bows, Dave, that's a sweet looking one.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
