Dang I was just getting ready to head out and start working on it when I noticed how much thicker the left limb really is...just like everyone said. I must have been half blind last night? :knothead:

Yer eyes will play tricks onya' in the wee hours laddy. When the eyes grow weary its time to call it a night. It does look promising though.
Step lightly, and shoot a trad bow.

Well fellas I just cam in from working on her all afternoon. It still may be a touch off, but I am pretty happy with it. She's pullin 49@28, so can't complain about that. And I measured 1.5 inches of set.

Tell me what yawl think about the new work

 

I shot about 30 arrows from it and I was pretty surprised how well it shot; even with the handle just roughed out. I am gonna shoot the heck out it between tomorrow and final sanding...maybe it'll shoot in???

Get the left limb bending a touch more in the center and the right limb a touch more at the fade.  Give the right limb 10 extra scrapes inner 2/3rds.
Take a kid hunting!
