I would keep an eye on the overlays I used ERC for a tip overlay once it didn't last long, but those were pin nocks so you may not have a problem
I like free stuff.

Nice bow hammertime.  I like that full draw shot.  Looks like it wants to send that arrow on its way in a hurry!
"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

Nice work on that one, looks very smooth and graceful at full draw.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I'd really like to get a close look or maybe even give that bow a shot. I don't have high hopes as I reckon if I ask Hammertime, he will say" you can't touch this"! :D

I really think he should have used a takedown sleeve, when he's finshed shooting he could say" break it down... Hammertime". ;D
