Do you have a video option on your camera? Because if you do, you can take a video and import the video into windows movie maker, and then move frame to frame and take a snapshot. That way you can make sure your picture is not blurry, at least this is the only way I can take a picture with my cheap walmart camera thats not blurry.

Hello!

Wanted to know if you had made any progress on this in the last month.  If not I totally understand, life gets busy, but I enjoy following these buildalong threads.  What happened to the Yew stave, eh?   :D

Antelope horns look real good on ELB's. I used them on a yew take-down in 2004, you'll like the look. Just be carefull cutting and drilling, they can be thin in some places.

When you get it finished, better start practicing with it because I intend to be your host out here in South Dakota this coming year to hunt antelope with it...big mojo to get a speed goat with it, ya know?

to tell you the truth, i have never been hunting before, but that sounds interesting, antelope with a warbow, think it might be a little overpowered >:D
