Found a bow on my porch

When I woke up this afternoon, I noticed a tube on the front porch. I popped it open and pulled out a beautiful osage bow built by Sidewinder. It has narrow tips with nice overlays, a leather grip with a shelf, and a nice shine to it. I grabbed a few arrows and a target and tested it out. It is very smooth and quick. I started grouping arrows better than I ever have before. Except the group was a couple of inches to the left. I think it didn't like my arrows. I will just have to make some more
This is the first time I have ever shot a selfbow made by someone else. I got so wrapped up in making my trade bow that I wasn't even thinking about getting one in return. When I got done with it, it was like, "wait a minute, I get a new bow too". And what a great bow it is. Thank you very much Mr Sidewinder.
The 3 arrows on the left are stacked up against each other. That's the first time I've done that with a selfbow!

Clint,
I could'nt be happier that you like it. You make awesome bows too so the pressure to perform was high. I'm also glad your shooting it well. I think the hitting left is a spine or brace height issue.I'm sure someone here more knowledgable than me can help you make the adjustment. Take care and I hope to see you at the Classic someday. Danny

Nice bow Clint. And with those groups we know it shoots good. Those arrows look familiar

That's it Pat. Maybe I should try using the other eye, or maybe both
I can't wait to shoot this bow again. Maybe tomorrow afternoon when I wake up I can get a few more arrows through it. This time I will move one deck board to the right.
