Ok, things are looking up.
First, I went back and read the rules. Ship by July 9th, 30 day grace period. Right now it's looking like July 9th should be easy.
Second, while the first one got scrapped, and the second one needed a "fix" that included salvaging the boo off the first one, we are finally tillered, shot-in and ready to finish.
Here she is at full draw (I needed someone with a little shorter draw length....):
I have about 80 arrows through her now. I can't believe that I made a bow that shoots that smooth, that fast, or most importantly hits that close to where I'm aiming -- even at a short draw. (Heck, maybe I should shorten up my draw. :confused: )
