Got the bow on the tree tonight.

Not looking bad but needs some weight removed.

Lookin good old timer. Glad you’re feeling better and getting back in the bow shop.

Got the tip overlays sander back off my bow and prepped new ones to put on. Hopefully I pick up enough weight piking 2”.

The lower back, hip, and back of legs are a little sore today, 300 reps on the tree gives ya quite the workout.

I know you find it therapy, but taken as written it sounds like medieval torture.

Got it wrapped and it came apart  :) :) :)
And I pulled it about 20 times to full draw.  Sorry Roy, no fireworks. 
That crack at 1st brace sure had me nervous though  :o
Still need to shape the handle, cut in the shelf, and shoot it in before I’m completely out of the woods.

Got my victims bow piked and tillered. Now only about .5# underweight. I usually drop another .5-1# on final sanding. I’m calling that a success. Hopefully my victim does as well :pray:

Also started a little bit of rough shaping.
