Well after much re-adjusting I finally got the Kenny-Karp ready to hunt. It must be that he knocked the sights off before shipping! 40# @ 28”, arrows 30”, 500 spine, total weight 600gr, broadheads and field points flying great. Last round this evening from 18-23 yards.

I figured I would try and make some limb wedges before I ordered glass or laminations for a take down recurve. Started my belt disc sander the drive belt is missing. Go figure.Now I am waiting for a new belt. It's always something. :(

You’ll get there again Greg. When you do please start a build along thread in the Bowyers section, and post lots of progress pictures, that way we can all come along!
