Thats the coolest Christmas present that a nine year old could get, that a pony to shoot off the back of.
That bow came out real nice Slim, nice looking with a sweet bend. Well done.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Well, I certainly love plains style bows! I was really curious whether or not that piece of maple would make a decent bow. I love the way it turned out. The bow looks great, and the wood chips are going to make for some really nice smoked backstrap from the doe you killed.

Just a quick note to say thanks to all. I received a picture and a note from them. Sounds like they've been shooting them for a few days now. We will all get together and shoot next week or so.

Sweet little bow!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

"Every time a kid gets a bow, an angel gets his wings!"

Apologies to Frank Capra, and everyone else that worked on the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" for mangling their quote.

Nice work on that shortie, Slimmo, you really put it all together.
