Title: Bow for my nephew or me? I have decided
Post by: Al Dean on April 16, 2015, 04:38:00 PM: I just finished this. Haven't decided if it's for my nephew or for me. I am leaning towards me and maybe make a longbow for him. Riser pauferro with shedua accent. Limbs red elm. 62" 45# @ 29". Tried to get about 3/8" more forward riser than I normally had in the past. The clear glass has absolutely no defects in it.
