Title: 1st Bow update!
Post by: 15DLongbow on February 19, 2012, 12:06:07 am

Got it on the Tiller now, slowly working the limbs down. using my arm as a scale the draw weight is still way high. But i couldnt resist so tonight i nocked an Arrow and did a short draw at a point blank target...and the bow did 2 things right! It didnt explode in my face, and it shot the Arrow! overall a good night  ;D
