I got my bow shooting again. And it came out a little over weigt but nothing too serious. I was wanting 55# and it came out at 63# at 27". I had it drawing 55 at 25" before doing the clean up work of trapping the back and all the sanding. Between those and shooting in I was hoping for the weight to settle in at 27". But after I found the hooks were too thin and pulling out. I flipped them back and they held a bit more reflex than before. And the cherry on the belly of the hook made it hold the reflex without bending. Even after a few scrapes from each limb to clean up and even out it managed to gain a bit of weight from the stiffened tips. Oh well, it's a short, light, hard hitting hunter now.
And I'm almost done with the decorating now. I did a little doodling with the ink pen, and was able to get a shed from one of the pythons, Elvyra, on. Though I've gotta redo a couple of the thread wraps that I cut while trimming the skin. Then I gotta put a few more coats of tru oil and a yucca handle wrap and she'll be done.
