Sometimes you got to do just the opposite!

Had to do a little creating last night. Needed something better than a tape measure to align riser and limb holes. Don’t take much to make a mess you cannot overcome! Mr. Bingham has them on his site but can’t handle $73 right now! So the wheels began turning...

Good to have friends. Called one and told him I needed a piece of C channel that was one and a half inches wide inside, he said come get it, when I got there his wife was finishing it up!
Started from that...

Well my new fancy C channel tool didn’t work out so well, or maybe it was me, either way I managed to get my mounting holes off. Oh well, stuff happens, I got to back up and punt now like they do in football.

Season is too near for this, I got to get a hunting bow ready, hum....
Seeing I have more risers than limbs, actually maybe three extra, i made an executive decision to mount limbs on another riser. That worked out fine and faster..

Yesterday evening I got to step out and fling an arrow with it for the very first. Felt good, lighter weight as I was hoping, don’t know how much yet. Although unfinished my first shot from 22-23 yards was just a few inches left. I will need to adjust some tip weight but liking it.
