Title: Finished my second thank you all
Post by: Kopper1013 on July 21, 2016, 09:53:00 PM

First I'd like to thank all of you who have help with advice and answered many questions along the way. The wealth of knowledge here is unbelievable.

Lessons learned on this one:
First, don't mix buffalo hide in anything but glass or metal. When it eats through plastic it will make a mess in your fridge.

Second, take your time and slow down, sometimes power tools arnt your friend and a little manual work elbow grease may save some heart ache

Third, ask questions and if you don't understand the answers you got don't be to proud to ask for clarification.

Specs:
62" NTN Forward handle ASL
Wendge riser with wendge and curly maple veneers on back and white glass on the belly.
55# at 26"
.470 stack
1-1/8" at fades and 3/8" at nocks

I am not a real big fan of ASL but, that sir is one fine looking bow, really like the spliced veneers.

The Veneers came from Troy Breeding the picture kinda stinks they are really pretty. This is my first ASL and have never even shot one till I finished this one, but have been following the HH posts on powwow and needed one in my life and I'm lovin it!
