Great looking bow, Pappy-looks like it oughta get the job done. Stick a hog for me-I'd love to have gone on the hunt with y'all, but this weekend is Tina's birthday and our anniversary. She's been out camping with me at shoots and stuff almost every weekend lately, and she says she wants to spend her anniversary somewhere away from bows and stuff. Hard to figure them wimmins priorities out sometimes ??? ;D

Another great bow, Pappy.  How do you reduce the diameter of the handle sections and make sure that you have a tight fit all along?  Is it just whittle and try and whittle and try?

Thanks,  Dan

Just one question Pappy.  When you install your sleve on the limbs..did you worry about violating the rings on the back or did you just put them together and let them fall where they may?  And awesome bow.
