Title: Actually finished 2nd bow
Post by: JacksonCash on September 01, 2013, 05:33:37 pm: Right around 30lbs at full draw. 64" ntn, maple board with hickory backing. Posted a video of the first shots a few weeks ago, finally took it out for the first time after applying the finish.

I got pretty lucky with my first bow, and followed along with Sam Harper's build along. Didn't discover this site till I was well into it. Otherwise I would have been asking a lot more questions. Between PA, reddit's /r/bowyer, and the TBB I had a lot of good info to make the two. I love this stuff, just wish I had some better work spaces. Now I just need to try to make one that doesn't start out as a board!
