Here she be...  The grain pops more when in the sunlight...  I wanted to have something with more grain in it but I had nothing like that fully dried...  She is a hair below par for performance...  I believe because I tweaked the hyper-lam...  :dunno:  Going back to old recipe like Bue...   :)  Over all she came out nice without any real hiccups...

 :laughing:   That's because the arrow has to cut through all that sunshine and humid air...   :) :tongue:

Stic... I usually get 184 fps with is design and got as high as 186 - 187fps...

Alright, day late and a dollar short.  Here is the monthly update.

Gathering Materials: 2/18
Build Stage: 11/18
Shipped: 5/18
Received: 3/18

We are nearing the half mark!  I am tracking another 4 people who are nearly ready to ship.  Overall we are doing great, and still have just over two months before the deadline.  Thank you all for making this pretty painless, and keep up the great work!  :archer2:

Today I  started tearing the form apart.  I spotted a couple little waves in it when the light hit it just right.   :(

NOT GOOD
Acrylic paint so it WILL come OFF.
I was trying to make it look like curly wood.
When I put the red on top of the light color it looks PINK :banghead:
It would have looked good with the red on top of the black glass


I sprayed some finish where the red phenolic meets the paint, still no good
