The tip overlays were hard to do and may not look the best because I have no power tools or belt sanders, so I did them with files, rasps, and sandpaper.

That bow it too pretty.  I think you need to haul it around the woods shooting more hogs and scuffing it up proper like!  Look out! Here comes one now.... (-_)
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I agree! This particular bow is not even two weeks old, so it definitely needs it :)

Ezra,
Way to go!  Plenty of meat made there (-_). Keep hunting,  glad to hear you were able to find the second hog.
Nice bow!

Congratulations Ezra. Great feeling when it all comes together. Very happy for you. I'd like to hear some more details about the hunt. Oh I love the hunt. Just over two months till opening day deer. I'm getting really excited now.
