OH MAN, how did you know I was wanting a Take-Down, who told you?????
ORIGINAL: Kanga
Wait till ya see the take down I am making.
Unfortunately I can't do a build along this time as it's a Chrissy present for some one on the forum
Matter of fact I can't even mention the woods I will be using
But it is gonna look real sweet

Get in line buddy, Its mine!!! LOL!!!
I'll spill the beans fellas, My wonderful GF contacted Russ about making me a bow. GOD Bless her...Well I guess its only fair since im buying her a brand new Mathews Ignition for christmas
But I figured out what the present is, So if you want to do a build-along Russ go right ahead. Oh by the way. The take-down you sent for me to test shoot is a real champ. They guys at the shop loved the woods you used. I like it. A LOT!!! She is one smooth shooter. By the way fellas. The pictures Russ posted of that takedown he made do it NO justice. A quality Job Russ.By the way when it comes to mine, how do ya feel about trying to make it with 40lb limbs? Thinking I want to shoot it for indoor target season since we need some guys for the longbow team to try and reclaim the state championship, then get you to make me a second heavier set of limbs later on.

Yeah Jim one of the owners of the shop shot it. He liked it alot. They loved the woods. He also liked the grip and didn't have a problem with the areas on it like I thought there might be. and as a matter of fact I liked the grip too. It was actually quite repeatable for me. All i say is just round the edges a little bit and it will be super.
