I was thinking maybe if I had some pictures the wife might want a raffle ticket. Do you know the cost of tickets yet? Are all the bows going to be in the same raffle?

BJ, I plan to have all the bows laid out on tables with a coffee can next to each. Put a ticket(s) in the can of the bow(s) you prefer. I will draw one winner from each can after Saturdays dinner. I haven't settled on cost per ticket. It will be affordable for all to buy, that's for sure. There will also be a number by each bow. Folks will have a chance to vote for their favorite by simply writing its number down and dropping it in another coffee can. Should be fun handing out so many bows while raising some money for the club.

Got mine in the sealing process now. I'm going ALL out female on this one. So guys make sure the wife, girlfriend, daughter, granddaughter or daughter in law puts some tickets in. Its 63" 33 @ 26, contoured grip/shelf and shoots sweet. White leather grip wrap, white rabbit fur silencers, pink string and a few pink beads off the bottom of the grip stitching. Its all girl and ready for action :)

 I heat treated a kid's bow, yesterday.  It's coming in at 25# @ 20".  I'm thinking of reducing it to 20 pounds.  Opinions?

I think knocking a few off will be better, Matt. 18-20 @ 20 is usually a good number for kiddo's. That just one opinion.

That's what I recall, Drums.  I used to have a piece of paper (cheat sheet) that I made years ago for kids, ladies, etc. tacked up above my workbench.  Somehow, it disappeared.

Here is where I am. I need to wax it up good and add a grip.

Nice job with that small diameter, Drums.  I sure like the handle section.
