Gonna be fun to watch over your shoulder.

Well levi got some time to work on his bow, he got a lt done, I did do the string nocks because with the belly groove i thought it might be above his skill set

That's awesome he got it finished up.  That's a quick shooting bow.  He must have had a good teacher  ;)

I think you were right Clint that upper fade is a little stiff, i will have him take a few scrapes to fix that, it is a quick little bow though. It isn't finished yet thoughlots of thigs left to tie it all together
