Thanks for the compliments, It shoots real well. It hits the target so much harder than my compound bow, and its a pound lighter. I guess I'm hooked!

I call the tips "pool cue tips" LOL.

Unusually good outcome of a first bow. You must be a good wood craftsman generally. Stitching on the leather is enviable to me.

Great job. This is a very nice looking bow.

That's a fine looking bow - you did really well for your first one. I'll bet that compound bow of yours won't see much more daylight.

Great looking bow. You did well. Ill bet Gordon is right about the compound. Justin

Congratulations on a job well done. When I started out I tested my own creations against a Bear Kodiak and yes It's now a wall hanger in my workshop.
