wow that looks great! I really like the paint job, and I also like your arsenal of arrows to go with it too, LOL.   :)  It seems like I never have more than three arrows for my bows at a time... :-\

I can never seem to make enough Arrows, they all shoot different, I take that one that is always on and spine the rest to that one.

Hrothgar, In response to your PM, I got the Idea For this Bow from a Drawing circa 1860? Sioux may have been an influence.

I correct myself: I got the Idea from Bowyers Bible 3 Page 130 Bow C
The Arrows I used influence from Sioux Arrows The Bow is not as deflexed as much as the Drawing But I Broke it in pretty well.
Not to good at remembering were I get My Ideas.  It's a plains Bow style though and it is functional with no Chrysals unlike some of the other bows Ive Made from Hickory, probably do the fact of the shorter draw Leangth.
