Nope...Bobby.  No snow or ice, but it was a chilly 70 this afternoon!

To qoute Mel Brooks' Frankenstein, "It's alive....alive!"  Turned out not too bad, if I do say so myself.  Used tennis raquet grip wrap, but a Shur-Grip or equivalent might be better.  Of course a good trad buddy says to leave it uncovered to show the true spirit of the bow.  I am used to a wood grip....hmmmmm.  Thoughts?

 

Shelf side with look at glue lines on window:

 

This side looks pristine:

El Cheapo the Lefty is finished!  

 

The grip is wrapped with tennis racquet stuff, may get a Shur-Grip though, or as a good friend said, leave it bare to show the change it went through.  Below the grip, you can see the glue lines, but it blends in pretty well.
 

My first group at 6 yards...maybe I can hunt from the wrong side of the bow after all...I will just have to hunt harder and get closer!

 

A javelina at 8 yards...hmmmmm.
