Hey Jim,
       Did you order the lamination press kit to build this as well? I was thinking about ordering the fire hose style press for the even pressure it provides.

Nice work...getting prepped to start my first as well.

I did use the lamination press kit with the fire hose press.

Good job!  From the drawn profile it looks like it would be smooth out to some longer draw lengths as well.

Ryan
Ended up seeing nothing over the last week of the season. Full moon, no snow and 50 degree weather made life easy for the deer at the end of the season. Did end up finding a nice 14 pt buck I had been hunting dead. Not sure what killed him my guess is one of neighbors hit him and couldn't find him. Do have a nice set of rattling horns now. Just got the material for the 2nd bow yesterday. Its bow building season.

Nice consolation but would have been better if you would have crossed paths with him first...

14 points!! Wouldn’t mind seeing that....  good luck with your new rattles  :)
