Don't sell yourself too short Jarrod, why would anybody tear that apart?
I think you did an awesome job on your first bow. How's it shoot? That's the important thing, if you hit what your lookin at.

Don't tear it apart. Look at it as a foundation that will be built on. I know for myself I am most critical of my own work, I always see the flaws. I figure most of us are the same way.

I agree with Semo Hunter. Awesome job for first bow. It will get better and better.    :clapper:

thanks guys...  I had a hard time with the tiller it semed the bottom was a little stiff I felt like  I was taking to much off so I got to a point and said.. thats it...


It shoots great feels nice and smooth,  it supprised me on the velosity of the arrow cast.

Now off to the thinking tank, I want to make one for my daughters birthday in june.....

Don't mean to jump on the band wagon but I'm with everybody else.  Its a good looking bow.  Tiller looks great.  I think my first had a hinge in each limb and ended up cracking so congrats.
