Thanks everybody ;D

Just tested penetration with my first broadhead glued into the snapped end of a bamboo arrow, no idea what a pass through around ten pairs of jeans in a cardboard box means but it certainly seems adiquate!

Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Nice work mark.  I have a BL bow with cryshals all olong one limb.  This might have inspired me to put a finish on her.  How long would you recon your bow will hold up?

It's past 200 and has managed to only take a standard two inches of set. I don't expect it to last as long as other/wider bows with as much set, but it could get close to a thousand I think- though I might retire her at five hundred for my sake ::)

Great shorty bow :)
Matt if your bow has chrsyals along one limb then the other is too strong before you finish it take some scraps off the strong limb.
