Beautiful bow! The paint job looks great.
It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Thanks Keenan!
Really it was not that difficult and a lot of fun to do that; I for sure will put more of those on the backs of my future flatbows.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Gordon!
It will be a really nice day and I hope for some nicer shots at the shooting range; so maybe you want to have another look later!

Everytime I think i've figured out some really great design to paint a bow(still tryin to finish my 1st one) I see something like this...Well, back to the drawing board...
In other words...WOW!!!

When I finish my first one (w/o snapping) I have a lot of fantastic ideas to draw from.

Beautiful design
