  I'd set it in the corner to be finish later as a kids bow.
 
  Learn from the exsperance move on to the next bow.

Good advice, kids are an excellent audience to make bows for, those are the ones that get used a lot and are most appreciated probably of all the bows I gifted. The joy of kids over a good shooting bow is priceless.
Don't shoot!

Pike the limb on the left about 8" and make an asymmetrical.
