Good news. Had it up on the wall and out to 30" with nothing exciting to report. Hope to finish it up next weekend. Looks like it might finish up a couple pounds light, we'll see. I'm trying to figure out what I missed in my stack calc, I think I forgot to add the yew factor. My recipient can send it back if they're not happy...

I didn't get shipped today. I had to put some finishing touches on the bow when I got home. I'll get it in a tube tomorrow and ship it out. Sorry for dragging this out guys.

Nice bow Randy!! My fingers are crossed.

Got ********'s bow shooting tonight. All good, although the pop as I drew back for the 6th shot as the mold release did its job caused my heart to skip a beat. But all good. Came apart with bare hands upon unstringing, but nice and tight when back together. High hopes of shipping early next week. If so, I'll at least beat the grace period on take two.

Beautiful bow Critter!  Here's hoping its coming my way!!    :pray:   I keep thinking of making a three-piece longbow like that but just never get it done.  


Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many more bows need to get shipped out?

Read 'em and weep boys!  Check out what came in the mail today!  Well, actually, I missed the delivery and literally chased down the mail truck all day till I got him!  Lol

 

 

 

This bow is awesome all around!  Excellent finish, weight, and feel.  The only thing I wish it had was a signature!  Critter, do you have specs for the guys?  I'd guess but I'd probably be way off.  I did get to shoot it a little bit today and it shoots very smooth and deadly quiet.  I love it.  This will definitely be my go-to bow this season!  Thanks so much!

Joe, glad it made it to you safe and sound. My wife helped me package it up and when it was all ready to go she asked "did you sign it"? I said, CRAP!!!!! I forgot to put specs and sign the last 2 bows I made. I'll chalk it up to old age.   :dunno:  
It's all walnut with moose antler overlays and tips. 60" ntn, my scale shows 57#@28" but I don't completely trust my scale. It's give me some weird readings before but it's close to that.
Glad you like it. I'm pm'ing you some more info!
