This is Skyler Wilson he built this with a little help at the Tennessee Classic,during the selfbow challenge.I think he is 12 years old,not only that he won the shooting part of the challenge with
it.He took it home and finished the grip and stained and sealed it.It is 66 in. n-n and I believe it finished 40 lbs.at 25in. draw.There were 2 of these lads together and they showed some real
skill and very respectful.I was really impressed with there shooting and there manners.Here are some pictures. :) Hope you enjoy Remember he done the bow itself, less the finish in 2 days.

Awesome job Skyler, your bow looks way better than my first.
Congrats on winning the shooting also.
With young men like you up and coming the sport is in good hands.

All that and he shoots LEFTY. Good job Skyler, that is a great bow. I still cant make handles like you. Great job on the shoot too. It looks like you are having fun, and that is the most important part. Never forget to have fun. Justin

Outstanding!
Has anyone else made their first bow and won a shoot with it all in one weekend?
Someone tell Skyler this primitive archery stuff is really not that easy! :D
We don't want him to go find another hobby that's a bit more challenging.
