Yours has elk written all over it. Happy hunting.

That's one to be proud of. Thanx for the journey. Be sure to update how the final chapter plays out.

@DBar: thanks!  There definitely were some obstacles to overcome along the way.  ;)
@clean_missed: thanks man, cloth skin material for one bow was probably $2.50! 
@IdahoMatt: thanks, glad to have you along for the ride!
@TimBo: Thanks!
@patrick: Yep, just got the big shot and love it already!!
@higheagle: thanks, she will definitely try!
@dvshunter: thanks much man!
@hunterbob: thanks, it was a blast.  Good luck with yours!
@badly bent: thanks, I can’t wait to hit the mountains with her!
@seminolewind: thanks!  I’ll be west of Gunnison in 65
@JW: It’s not that hard to make bows that are better looking than me!  ;)  I’m loving the speed and smooth draw.  I have no doubt that a well-placed arrow will do the job!
@Robby: thanks much man, I appreciate it!  It seems to me that the prepared tend to get luckier, so I’m doing what I can.  ;)
@CMB: thanks!
@Tracy: thanks much!
@Chris; thanks bro, it definitely won’t be my last!  Practice is my middle name.  I was out stump shooting yesterday. 
@neolithicman: thanks!  I appreciate the handle compliment!  Handles are probably my favorite part of the bow. 
@Badger: thanks Steve, that’s the plan!
@Zuma: well go for it!  Thanks!
@vinemaplebows: thanks I appreciate it!
@zenart: thanks much!  I will definitely update everyone when I get back.
@ohma2: thank you!  Grips are fun.  I don’t prefer the wrapped ones personally; I like the feel of wood on my hand and to keep it narrow.  I try to set it up so my hand slides right into my shooting position.
@4dog:  thanks bro, I appreciate it!
Thanks,
