The tips look a little stiff you might try to get those bending more. If your going to do a job do it right....next time lets see some tip overlays, LOL.  :)  >:D

You could also try to skin some inchworms for backing. They also have great sinew if you want to try and increase the draw weight a couple ounces.

In the four years I have worked with birds of prey and all the wild hawks/owls/eagles that I have had to capture, the worst...and I mean it was baaaad...worst bite ever was from a freaking peach faced lovebird!  Vicous, ravenous, mean-spirited, rage-filled little blighters, they are!

Heck, I caught up an injured golden eagle with bare hands and a kitchen towel and came away unscathed.  Peach faced love bird.  Don't let Stoker mess with you like that.  Go catch a black mamba in the dark with your hands tied behind your back, but avoid the peachies!
