Thanks Steve and Rob means a lot to me.
Thanks wooddamon1 and welcome to PA.
Thanks Mike, I've made bows for all my grandkids but some of them will need to be grown into. I decided to keep this one here so we can shoot it together. I honestly don't know if you can outgrow a bow and arrow set like this. I'd really like to shoot it through a chronograph. It's really fun to shoot. I have a son who's not married yet and when the rest of the grandkids grow into their bigger bows I'm thinking it'll go to him.
Jerry I understand. I hope your grandkids still think your cool. Understand how life changes for them at those ages. Different tugs from different directions. Like Alice said "I'm a boy and I'm a man". Maybe you can get them interested in making a bow. I'm sure you know that great grandchild won't say to young for long.
Thanks pnwarcher. You are very right. The arrows really do make the whole setup work right. Just for the heck of it I shot a kids arrow I bought from store and it flew terribly. I knew it would. Point was to light, weight FOC was terrible and it had plastic veins. I probably spent as much time or maybe more making the arrows than I did the bow, but it was time well spent. Hopefully they don't all get lost right away.lol.
Thanks Bob
Thanks Paul
Thanks Pappy
Thanks everyone for looking I can't wait to get some nicer weather to get the kids outside.

Pretty dang cool, BJ!

Excellent work, I bet your Grandkids will even know how to use a compass when they grow up. To many children these days couldn't survive overnight 10 miles from town.

Thanks Will
Thanks Chris
Thanks Ed, I guess I never really grew up. Still only 5'5".
Thanks Bill, if your shoulder is still bothering you at Marshall maybe you can shoot this one.
Thanks Jwamalone, I'm hoping they stay interested in this stuff. They can still be hard to drag away from the video games.
Thanks everyone for looking
