Very nice bow jnichols! Had a recurve as a kid that we picked up from an old timer having a garage sale, a little easier to string design wise, but I still popped myself in the face a few times... 🤦

Had a lot of fun as a kid with those!

Ha! Actually recurves are harder to string!

When I first started making these I kept trying to make them faster. So I would shave every ounce of weight off the limbs, and make them as short as possible. Let me tell ya it fricken hurts when they explode at full draw! I finally lets say compromised.

And thanks for the compliments guys!

Shows my ignorance, it seemed easier since I could put the curve around my leg. The old timer showed me how to do it and whenever I went a while without using I had to remember the hard way a few times.

Ignored the tornado warnings and fought off the skeeters. But it was still fun!

But some moron decided to shoot all the practice targets with broadheads. 😠 And we even have a 4'x4' target made just for them. Guess they couldn't read the damn signs.](*,)
