Thanks, i like it alot, i still have to take off a couple pounds before i finish it though. I haven't been shooting it much because this storm blowing in is bringing in a bunch of wind and im already a bad enough shot without the wind haha

We're from northwest Ohio about halfway between Dayton and Toledo.

For arrow making we're hoping on finding reed, but I plan on collecting a bunch of sprouts anyway.
Any suggestions on the type of saplings to look out for?

We're larger guys so with our bows we'll probably be trying for 50#+ pull.

Thanks for all the info so far guys!

   You have HICKORY dos'nt matter what kind you get. A good first bow wood a good 100 th bow wood. You should also have ALTERNET WOOD WOODS. Heavy but not too,solid stays straight after straighting.
   PM ME I'd be glad to answer any questions you have that I can.
