I’m fur it Kenny! I’m wanting to try the forward handle soon as my wallet approves! Right now it’s worried about the hunt I’m going on week after next, that may slow the building progress.

Sorry bout the cap lock !! !! LOL


I'm really liking the 58" forward handle longbow I have. I can't get the arrows stiff enough to fly well with the ones I have on hand...
