Way to go, Robert!

It is great satisfaction killing game with a bow you've made yourself.

Eating that fresh Doe meat only primes the pump for the Buck that follows! Always good to see a brother posed with a kill. Good one RC, did you put some cedar behind that ACE? A Hill bow likes wood the best.

Nice, RC. Well done.

Congratulations on both your deer and bow! It doesn't get any better than that.

Nice job RC. Nothing like bringing home supper with home made equipment. I think it adds to the flavor.

Awesome. Hope I get a chance at 12yds with my new selfbow. Gives me hope, a couple weeks still to go here.

And another one bites the dust! Looks like a pretty good start to the season.

Thanks guys. Knawbone I was shooting some carbon arrows I have. I cut the bow a bit more to center than most hill bows hoping I would be able to shoot arrows I already have and it worked .They shoot good.
Dan, the bow is a 66" string follow I made from action boo. Nothing scientific for sure from me just glued up and cooked then sanded till it looked and felt right. Then fine tuned a bit till it shot straight and quiet for me. I really like the tennis wrap grip. It feels good.I asked a lot of questions on the bowyers forum and sent Charlie a pm. All were helpful. I`m gonna hunt with this one a bit and maybe around the first of the year try to take my time and build a purty one.By the way...I`m loading pictures of a good hunt this evening. for once the does are NOT winning.
