Great looking Bow....just keep it out of that Moist European Air when not shooting it....and that Olde Hickory will do You just Fine....

Very nice bow!
Much reason to be proud!

Ps: Hey, you need rope and pulley on that tiller wall!!! Makes me nervous to see a bow screwed to full draw. I can literally feel the cast going south...!

That is a fine example for a first bow - I'm at close to 20, and my tillering skills are just coming on . That bow looks great !!
