I build the riser block minus the riser fades slopes and glue that up.  Then I use it as the form to clamp to.  Then I use seperate forms for the ends that are adjustable and wedges to span the space near the curvature form.  The rest is creative wrapping of bike tubes.

That's impressive Prairie! Even with the flu flu's that thing is so fast I can't even see the arrow leave the bow. Have you chrono'd it?

I don't own one.  I'm amazed at how quiet it is with out silencers.  The target points with a narrow fletching just seem to evaporate, and materalize down range on the other side of a hole in my target, or materalize in the target if I'm at the real range.

We have an AWESOME local roaming range but there is dirt road to it so when it rains I don't bother going.  I drive a Honda Civic and that has "Scott gets stuck" written all over it.  Pluss we are kinda clean freaks and I'd hate to see the state of Mrs PB after taking the car offroading and mudbogging.
