Who said it's a good idea to shoot a modern compound?

If you guys think 'tinkeritis' is bad, just try making selfbows. You talk about a sickness! You're never satisfied. You just KNOW the next one you make will be better than the one you just finished. You can't look at a tree without seeing bows. You can't pass the hardwood board rack at the lumberyard without checking out the grain lines on a couple dozen boards or so, just to see if one will make a bow. Then you play around with limb thickness, widths, different profiles, bow lengths, reflexing, deflexing, recurving the tips, stiff handles, working handles....

One good thing - with all the wood shavings from whittling on bows, you never have to buy mulch for the flower beds.
