Flintflinger,
Yes, I did see it, that's the way all stands should look! VERY NICE JOB MUZZYMAN88!
As for painting the bow..[:@] The bow is worth a little to much to be taking sandpaper to & spraying! lol If it wasn't in such good condition I would just paint it. I figured if I had it professionally done the worst it would do is increase the value!?

Fieldmouse,
I took a 270" net typical whitetail last year w/my "BUCK' knife! NOT! lol You do have to get them in a little closer with a recurve than w/a compound! I can shoot out to about 40yrds tops & still be accurate. Most of the deer I have killed were about straight under my stand, one well placed arrow in the spine right between the shoulder blades usually drops them in their tracks!

Thanks Guys, I'm not to worried about right now, season is about over here (the 15th) & I just wanted to have something lined up for next season.
Later All, Phil B.
