Kip that is a sweet bow.......as said if it is your last it was a good one to end with.  You could always find a young fellow to tutor and have shoot in your bows then you could still make them.....LOL
Happy hunting to all!

Well...I wasn't expecting anything in the mail but the mail man surprised me   ;D  I have the guard dogs protecting a BEAUTIFUL mulberry bow !  Thanks Greg (Badly Bent)  Its a real beauty... I strung it up and pulled it back and it feels great.... I will hopefully get to shoot it this weekend and get somebody to take a pic at full draw.  (maybe ... I have 2 kids graduating this weekend  (1 highschool and 1 college)) I am definately excited to get out a do some shooting with it.  Thanks again Greg...Its a real work of art. :)

Quite a run of fine bows showing up. Coaster, with work like that you need to figure out a way to keep making them.

Finally got the video to work on my phone. Sweet bow Kip! I thought it would be a little whippey from the braced pic but that full draw is sweet!

Very nice bow Coaster 500.  Shoulder thing sucks for sure, but I agree with all that have said that if it's your last, it's a great ender.

Good job Kip !
Wish I had ended that well !
My fellow my end up with my old personal bow, I can't seem to pull enough weight to make a decent bow anymore ! 60 lbs is just to painful even on the rope and pulley !
I am going to add more pulleys and soon as it gets to hot weather I will try one more time !
I sure hope to get something worthy for him !

I plan to post some pics tonight. I'm just finishing up floor tillering and she's ready to get a short string on her. Things are going pretty well. I had a little mishap when I was shaving down some wood during the original shaping process but I've got it all smoothed out, just hoping I have enough left to get the weight I want. I think I should because I checked the resistance on the floor tiller versus some other bows I have and it still feels good. So will see how it turns out. If not I got back up plans ready to deploy.
