Nothin wrong with that bow Dictionary. She's a beaut and you got good weight out of it. Sometimes the simplest are the most impressive (I for one am impressed) Just wait till you're out of basic and that 55 pounder will be nothin to pull.  ;)
Thanks for your service.

Real nice bend on that d-bow Dictionary, smooth! That length and draw weight is a perfect deer bow in my book. Hope when your done with your basic training you'll be posting more nice bows like this one. :)
Thanks for your service and take care.

Very well done young man!  I'm flattered to know that I may have inspired something more significant than a hangover!  ;)  I'm very happy to hear that you've taken steps toward your future.  If you can stay focused and make the best of it, I think you will look back on this decision as one of the best you ever made.  The military certainly made a man out of this former juvenile delinquent.  I wish you the best in your endeavours and hope to see many more sweet bows like this one being made wherever you are stationed.  Josh

Those pics are cose enough for me to see you made a fine bow. Your tiller is great. Have fun and experience all the military has to offer.

Nice looking bend on that one. The full draw against the brick is your best pic. It looks real nice.

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words friends.


Hopefully the next time i post a bow on here, the pictures will be clearer and in a better setting.
