My bet is, it will be a cyber brawl on here to get a Carp bow! Lol!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Wow; went to Church and got humbled, came home and got on here and got the big head! The only thing that would make one of my bows special is that you guys get to see it built. Keep pumping me up and I'm going to have to let my wife read this. :lol: :lol: But I remember the Monkey on the pole and I ain't going up there! :oops:

From all indications so far I am going to say yes. There are some guys on another site doing testing on it. One put a sprayed piece in the freezer then bent it to see if there would be any wrinkles or cracks. So far so good.

One caution Kamn, that stuff stinks big time! It's the strongest odor I ever smelled from a spray can, go outside!

We need another carp bow in the works. I volunteer to adopt it and give it a forever home. Lol!!! I am going through withdrawals from not seeing a new build.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

I think Kamn is up next on the lam bow and you on the selfbow. I'm leaving out early in am to Tradfest, got to try and chase a Turkey when I get back! But I do appreciate your willingness to give a Carp bow a place to call home, heartwarming.
