Rylie, that is one nice bow you and your papa built. I hope you enjoy it and make sure you out shoot him at your 3D shoot Sunday.

Applied 3 coats of tung oil couple days ago. Added 2 coats of rub-on poly yesterday.
Today Rylie was available for couple hours. So we did a "bow signing" and added 3rd coat of poly.



Think she's REALLY focused on 2nd half of April?




Definitely on home stretch now!

Great job getting her involved Mike.  Now she knows how much work it takes to make a bow.  I'm sure she will treasure it.

YES!
And I've been reminded how challenging it is to aspire to be a teacher.

Thanks, guys, for the positives.

Well done Papa and Rylie! That bow sure is a looker! Can't wait to see her shooting it! This is something she will cherish for a lifetime.

What a great day!
Carol got up with Rylie and I, so we made a run to Waffle House for breakfast before heading over to today's 3D shoot.


Then was time to load up gear and get going.






Yep, great day!!

She was shooting high/high/high. Maybe her 1/4" arrows aren't appropriate for this bow. Let her use couple of long 5/16" I was carrying. Started hittin' where she was aiming.
Guess she's gonna need arrows now!
Sheeeez!   :)

ps ... says gonna "politic" with her momma re Memorial weekend in MI ... !
