Ok guys, after squirreling money away for a year and hanging around with a bad crowd(maxwell, carcajou) and reading the guys I mentioned in previous posts, I ordered a one piece (no stinking bolts or screws) recurve w walnut riser, koa ( kampground of America.) limbs w coco bolo tips & accent stripe, w checkered grip, 45#, and DOUBLE CARBON! Hopefully this bow will cure my plucking, torqueing, dropping my bow arm & using all arms and no back muscles. Now Dave & Beth are on the clock....tic tic tic for 11 MONTHS. My daughter said "you can make a baby in less time, it's only a stick!"
