My wife is wondering why she is getting so many spit stains on the front of my shirt when she does laundry. *drool*

That looks great pat, is it a paper back or a cloth?

Try a bib, Goose!
  Kelly, it is tissue paper. I've seen animal print cloth that would probably work good and would add some protection. The strongest part of this backing is the glue it went down with. This is purely decorative!

Here are the braced and full draw pics. Looks like the lower limb is still a bit stiff but it will have to do for now. I ran out of Tru-Oil today and my supplier is out also.
 so here she is...

Thanks guys. This has been a fun project. I think ****** *** will love it.  Art, She spits the hill cane arrows you made me last year like they were made for her. I have some tapered ash arrows that are similar weight that don't even come close.

Pat, You done good.....Real Good!
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
