If you get the tips and grip working you could get a longer draw if you wanted, sweet piece of hickory nonetheless!

Are those pin nocks? I like pin nocks. Pic of the nocks?

I am satisfied with this right now. I might change my mind. The top is a pin nock the bottom
2 grooves. I like to tie on the string at the bottom. Thank you too.
