Nice Job! Glad the skins worked out for you. Let me know if you want more next June when the season opens again.

Great curves, and a beautiful bow all-around!  Great work, Jeff!

thank you all for your kind words.
Don, I'm not a hunter yet, but I like the way the fur silencers quiet the string.  It makes for a pleasant sound.

Aaron, thank you for the skins.  let me know if you ever catch more--I would love to work another trade.

I shot the bow some more this evening, and it seems the more I shoot, the smoother it feels.  I  have found some arrows that shoot really nice and straight out of it, and I am hitting the target with more confidence.

Here is one more picture that shows some of the nice little 'stars' that the sturgeon skin has on it that I like so much.  The stuff looks like dragon skin--I feel like I should have covered the bow in elf runes or something.  I guess I am a nerd that way.

Jeff, that's a beautiful bow and a beautiful story.  "Redemption."  It has often been said on this forum that the broken ones, the difficult ones, the ones that seemed impossible, become the ones we love the most.  As a teacher, and a Christian, and a parent, and an extremely fallible human, I know that's true of people, too.
