I made 6 ofthese up to use with the longbow. I have 6 more uncrested for practice and feral hogs.28" XX75s. 500 spine, 4" parabolics, and will be carrying 125 gr. Magnus Snuffers. My daughter Lily helped. If you have ever tried guiding the hand of a 3yo while applying paint you will understand the blemishes.
