That's alright Mike - just ribbing ya a little :). Would have had to change my drawers if I'd heard my first sinew job crack on the first draw, or second ;).
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I remember that one Micheal.  That's the one you showed me while you were coaching me on sinewing my first one. It sure is ugly ;D But...looks can be decieving. I bet it shoots good.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

I gotta take a picture of my first bow. it was about 8 years ago I made it. Not sure what kind of wood it is but I cut down the first straight tree I saw ;D
it has masive set because it has been strung for 7 years above my buddies fireplace at the cabin :D. We shot it last year for a joke and it pulls like 10# at 28". the profile doesnt change a bit with the string off after 7 years strung :D I gotta get a picture of it so you can get a real good laugh.

Hello everyone
  Thanks for sharing your first bows. It's a real treat to see those first pointy stick flingers. I hop some more folks can join in .Ronnie
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?
