Well I'll be Buggard
 

Just got back from test shooting the first long bow I have made:)

Some of you might remember my post a bout a week end of ups and downs, I was going to scrap the bow but decided to finish it instead and now I am glad I finished it.

It holds real good and shoots great with very little hand shock, the poundage is still a little higher than I would like it to be but thats life:D

I did have to cut another 1/16" out of the back side of thesight window and shelf to get the arrow to sit properly.

All I have to do now is do the final sanding and put on a coat of Polyurethane.

I will post some pics here in a little bit.;)

Congrats!

Since you posted, I guess there was no catastrophic malfunction with fatal injuries. Well.... Better luck next time. [8D]

Like I told you the other day, no matter how bad you think you screwed it up, if it shoots an arrow it's a bow. If it shoots where you look, it's a good bow. ;)

So this means I can expect my new Target take-down recurve in a few weeks then Russ? LOL[8D];)

Art.

I would like to thank you for the encouraging words on the phone the other day as well as those little tips you gave for the next one I make;)

Now I can't wait for it to dry and go shoot some more arrows:D


Sorry Chad, Greg is right his long bow is next as soon as he gets the the wood he has for me over here so I can start on his riser.

Here are some pics I have it hanging upside down:D

you can see the seperation on the laminants in the middle of the riser which really ticked me off when I first seen they had shifted.
