New guy story f/d added
« on: May 09, 2018, 03:03:33 pm »
A while back I get a message from Weylin, he says there is a guy that wants to start building bows that lives near me and wants to know if I will talk to him. I say sure no problem, turns out he lives 2-2  1/2 hours away after I talk to him. Anyway he wants to build wood bows real bad so I do the old text/talk and video method of working him through a bow. He's in deep now , I got him to sign up hear but he hasn't posted anything yet. I think his username is just me. Names CJ. I'm gonna post some pics of his second bow it's a hickory pyramid style

NICE!

Thank Bub!
Great job on the second bow......it took me about 5-6 bows to get it pulled back that far withut breaking.
Again great job and welcome CJ.
