Well done. Even though some of my first 4 bows held up for a few hundred shots it was my 5th that actually held together. Even it took a lot of set. I still break one once in a while but it’s getting rarer. As soon as I finish one I’m thinking about my next one. Still looking for what suits me best.

You know the old sayings.
It’s a slippery slope
Heading down a rabbit hole
The camels nose is in the tent, etc

The main thing is to enjoy the trip!

As soon as I start one I'm thinking about my next  (lol)
I have no less than three in the works now, not counting the one getting finishing touches tomorrow.
