Arthur,

I learned that last one the hard way. I was finishing up a hickory backed cedar bow a buddy gave me (at the time one of the editors for primitive archer mag). I had that bow shooting good, the handle felt good, the riser looked good. Nothing fancy was done although I did cut a small sight window in it. (I guess this makes my 3rd wood bow, almost forgot this experience LOL). We' ll we worked at the wood working shop at a local middle school and used the small gym as a range (already set up for a local club as a indoor range for winters). Anyways, after shooting it a few times I came back in to find he arrived with the kids. I showed him the bow and he was like a kid in a china shop. The last thing I remember is seeing blood on his face appear rather rapidly. His draw length was just a tad 1/4-1/2" more then mine but he drew the bow like it was on its last breath gasping for more. At the time I drew much slower then he did and bow, she blew. Go figure LOL!

Thanks for the replys. I' ll let ya know how the bow shoots once I get up and running with it hopefully by the end of this weekend.
