Not too bad at all. Your tips are a bit soft and your fades are a bit stiff. But hey, first bow that gets to full draw is a winner. Nice job! Got another started yet?

Im really new to this, but the fades, particularly the bottom one look stiff.

The bow looks amazing though. Being your first puts you lightyears ahead of most aspiring Bowyer's.

PD no I don't have another started yet went home depot looking through there wood and nothing looked good my little boy came down with steep throat yesterday so I haven't had time to go to another store to check but I cant wait till I get another one going. I think the next one I'm gonna make wider at the fades and make the riser around 11" instead of 8" gonna see if I can lay the fade angle down abit

Great first bow! My first turned into firewood. My second may end up the same way. But I'm determined to get a shooter before Baseball season.
