Although they do look like static tips. I’m definitely still in the experimental stages so far.

Got a string on it and I need to work on the outside half of the right limb and take some of the whole limb on the left side. It is scaling ad 34 lbs at 22 inches so I need to take it slow.

Tiller looks good. You can't put wood back, so go nice & easy. Looking great, BTW!

Nice job Rick.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
