That is yet another beautiful build. Love the feather backing but behind those feathers is s really sweet bow too! Hope you all have a blast shooting together with it.

Great backed bow!  I had no idea you could back one with feathers!  I myself would go with a nice russet colored leather that is full grained hide.  It will only get better with age.  Now I know what to do with all these turkey tail feathers that I have!  Great bow!  She will love it!

Very cool look on the feather backing Doc, better keep the bird dogs away or they may want to chew up that fine bow.  I imagine your daughter is proud as could be of her new bow and of her dads talent, as she should be. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Thanks Greg.  She shot it for a couple hours yesterday at the 4H shoot.  She was all grins from start to finish despite her "too cool to smile" pose in the picture.  Lol!  Josh
