Ya Dave, me too.  Usually I would take the bow horse along and and finish it in the evenings.  Unfortunately, I have to turn over the first 164 rooms of a motel project in Yellowstone National Park by 8/1 and another 85 rooms by 8/8.  I roughed this bow out here in YNP after work but the Rangers suggested I not put a string on it in the park, thus the final stages need be done at home.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Mine is finished just have to get it packaged and shipped. I have also received my swap bow but the handle popped off of it while I was taking it out for a test drive. I haven't had the time to try and fix it.  If I get it fixed I will post pics of it.

Kelly,

How many are on the "have not shipped" are just waiting for the all clear so that we can ship vs how many are running behind or MIA?

Skin looks good!

Just letting y'all know that I will be leaving town Friday morning and won't be back till Saturday of the following week. I will have my neighbor check my front porch periodically though!

I went to the post office today before I went to work and I had a package waiting for me from Turkey. Thanks Inksoup hopefully I will get a chance to shoot her in a couple days when I get some time to test her out.
