Beautiful bow Weylin, but I think I'd be most excited about not having to pick all the brush out of my bow while hunting, and not getting snagged so often. Can you tell any difference in how it shoots with a litte extra weight out on the tips?

Rays, skate and shark skin is all great stuff. The bridges look solid. Good to use sheep horn and not deer type horn. I like it a bunch.

Wow, thank you for all the positive feedback! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you! I need to make one of these for myself. I hate getting brush stuck in my bow when I'm hunting. I was worried about the weight affecting the shooting but it really didn't, at east not in a noticable way. There was very little handshock and it felt just as quick as a bow without them. I worked hard to make them as slim and trim as I could, I think that might have helped some in that regard.

It's gotten easier. This one was especially easy because the snake set this up with an offset arrow pass that's perfect for a righty. I'm a lefty so it was easy not to get too attached.

In the Jungle hunting hogs I just use to take old round soft brown cork bobbers and just pull em tight into string. When I get to a good Guava thicket with sign just pull em out. Those bridges are nice what glue you use on them?

There is nothing I can add that others have not said.  You make this craft a true art form.

    I've done similar but cut the bits of cork  to fit a bit better and then stuck them in place temporarily with double sided tape.
