Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

That deer has no idea how close that was.
Good shootin' 😉

Dan drew blood on a bushy tail! Good work, and sometimes a lot harder than a deer!

That doe came out on my right side at about 15 yards. By the time I got turned the right direction without being noticed she was facing away from me and never gave me a shot. The squirrel wasn’t so lucky.

I’m really liking this bow. It’s so smooth to draw and shoots hard. It pulls smooth without any signs of stacking to as far as I can pull it back, probably 32”. I definitely recommend it to anyone with a thought of building their own bow.

Something special about hunting with something you built, now that yours is finished we need someone else to start one!!
