You guys have totally outdone yourselves....I don't think anyONE has done a bow like this before...it definately took a group of craftsman working together to build this one. It certainly will raise the money for a very special cause.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Well, I showed up to find several packages waiting on me when I got home. Timo wrapped the bow up really well thank goodness and it made it in one piece(no thanks to USPS). The package looks like it took a few bruises. Im just in total awe after looking the bow over. I am quite certain I've never seen finer work in any bow, all wood or not. This thing is pure perfection! No doubt, this bow is going to get a hand buffed finish!!!! I should get started on her soon. Waitin on some materials. Stay tuned, she's about to shine! CK

PS, has anyone had the guts to put some arrows through her? Not that I'm even thinking about it. Im afraid to touch her. Muy Bonita! CK

Curtis, shoot the dang thing - its a bow. You did not hesitate to pull the LDB did you? I briefly  considered blooding the ST J selfbow, but figured that right belonged to the highest bidder. But a target butt, well, that is science. Inquiring minds want to know...

Curtis I ran a few dozen shots through it (see page 23 of this thread) Had to wait for cool humid weather so I wouldn't get the same results as John. (page 18) She's very quiet in the hand. Just use a stringer and brace it to clear your fletching. Try it out!

I'll consider it Tom...I'm real uneasy around the bow. Still awaiting materials but may start working on shelf material. I thought about gently carving SJ in some fine leather for each side on the arrow shelf. I was going to use calf hair rest but can't due to obvious hair reasons. CK

I'm assuming you mean arrow plate? I'd just put some thin leather on there that matches. Maybe slip a sliver behind the middle of it so the contact point is minimal. The carving idea sounds neat though.

Ha!  I understand your comment Curtis...."I'm real uneasy around the bow."

It's a bit intimidating aint it?

Tell me about it Dave. I took a hoof rasp to a beautiful bow with gorgeous underlays! Nothing like knowing you'll be removing something you can't put back on.
