Thanks everyone! It was a great way to start the season. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Taking it with equipment I made (with lots of help!) made the experience all the sweeter. The elk ivory actually makes quite an efficient rest. It's nice and smooth letting the arrow fly right off. I have a few more that I might incorporate down the road. I know the next bow will be a sinew backed Osage making use of this door and any others I am lucky enough to encounter.

Walt, when I get home tomorrow I will post a pic or two of the bow.
Thanks again!
