Here's the unbraced side view as requested Vanillabear. Sorry so blurry. but you can see it good enough, the lower limb lost a tad more than the upper, and its the slightly stiffer one. i attribute it to the bamboo being slightly thicker there. I definitely learned alot from this, and alot from you guys. Thanks for following!

Vanillabear im sure it will shoot better than i can. im having to cant the bow a bit, and i have never done that before, because my arrow wants to fall off the rest. im thinkin i either need to put a bit of fur or rug on there to keep it from sliding off, or put pressure on the nock with my fingers to kind of pull it into the riser. once i get the hang of it though its gonna be a shooter. very quiet, every bit as quiet id say as my fedora, not quite as fast, but not far behind either. definitely taking her hunting this year.
