that is one fine bow.

onemississipp · August 20, 2008, 09:18:00 AM

Smonte,
Full draw, a picture of the bow drawn to full length, meaning your draw length.

I'm guessing that would be 26".

We like to see bows braced, unbraced, and full drawn.

We like to see bows bend!

**DONOTDELETE** · August 20, 2008, 09:24:00 AM

We just like to see bows.

Pat B · August 20, 2008, 10:36:00 AM

With selfbows, the only way to tell how well a bow is tillered is with a full draw pic. Unbraced pics give a good reference point but full draw is the only way to see tiller. Generally a braced pic is just eye candy but I like seeing them too. Pat

Pluck Yew · August 20, 2008, 11:21:00 AM

I know. I was trying to duck the full draw picture...until after I ajust tiller a bit...

Shawn...

Pluck Yew · August 20, 2008, 02:52:00 PM

Gotta do it..

..promise will post "full draw" after re-tiller...later...

Shawn...

Pluck Yew · August 22, 2008, 05:49:00 PM

Re-tiller photo...still thinking maybe bottom limb could use more bend??.

..What do you think?...

Shawn...

**DONOTDELETE** · August 22, 2008, 08:13:00 PM

left limb has a hing about mid-limb or so, other then that it looks good.

**DONOTDELETE** · August 22, 2008, 08:16:00 PM

do you have a heat gun? If So you cann fix the hing with it.

Pluck Yew · August 22, 2008, 08:24:00 PM

Sal, do that graphic disign thingy again...and should I just heat the area? Gonna shoot it tomorrow at j.vincent memorial shoot here abouts..

Both limbs could use the near handle wood moving more-just past the fades, at least on your next one. Great effort for your first one! Jawge
