Thanks to Kerry Brinkley at Mojam for hooking me up with the stave and showing me the ropes.

You might want to weaken the inner third of the top limb for the sake of the bows longevity. It looks like it's close enough to hinging it would give out if you hiccuped at full draw.

Looks a million times better than my first, and three times the draw weight! Welcome to the addiction  ;D

Hey thanks for the pointer.  I spotted it a few weeks ago and my buddy kellyG talked to me about it also, I just haven't had time to fix it yet. So far it shoots beautifully and I am already addicted.

Well done, +1 on what huisme said, just a few scrapes should ease it off a tad.
Do it before you get chrysals.
