Very nice 8wt. I hope that baby shoots as nice as it looks. Im sure my first one will turn out nothing like that, but Im gonna try it anyways.

What did you decide on for the seal coat?

Kip -thanks for the nice comment - yours can look that good - just gotta work at it.....

By the way - I already shot it - it shoots great. I shot a bare shaft to tune it for spine.... got the spine just right and had the bare shaft shootin a bullet hole through paper......

Then shot it a few dozen times - its really nice - very smooth, stacks right at full draw - was just great....... and a good pointer.....

I used a 2 part epoxy - expensive stuff but a very nice finish...... you can but it branded as "Thunderhead Epoxy"
