I don't mind if you guys post about things you are trying out just don't sell them for the person would be the correct way to look at it.Like tom said google will set you free.

Finally got some free time to work on the bow. Lots of sanding on the riser yet to do. All glass is sanded off, glass edges sanded smooth, and corners rounded off.

Then some fancy string nocks. Yea; I have a bow square but usually just eyeball it. These can be twisted up and down the serving to adjust.
