Thanks everyone.This was my first try at it .Guess I got pretty lucky for an unbacked boardbow.It is about a week old now with a hundred arrows through it,no problems.I draw at 28 1/2",puts the bow at 52#.It hasn't lost any strength.This is the first selfbow I have ever shot.I expected a lot more stacking and handshock.It shoots real smooth.Sorry about not having any other pics.Everyone wants to see unbraced and full draw pics.,I didn't think about it when I took the pictures.I should have tried making strings years ago,It will come in real handy.Thanks again........Joe
