Another nice one RC. Congrats!  Tell us more about the bow

[Lambow]

Way to go, Robert!

It is great satisfaction killing game with a bow you've made yourself.

Eating that fresh Doe meat only primes the pump for the Buck that follows! Always good to see a brother posed with a kill. Good one RC, did you put some cedar behind that ACE? A Hill bow likes wood the best.  

[Hopewell Tom]

Nice, RC. Well done.

[TxAg]

Very cool!

[awbowman]

That didn't take long RC, the killing begins!

[JJB]

Congratulations on both your deer and bow! It doesn't get any better than that.

Nice job RC. Nothing like bringing home supper with home made equipment. I think it adds to the flavor.  

[TroutGuide]

Awesome. Hope I get a chance at 12yds with my new selfbow. Gives me hope, a couple weeks still to go here.

[Sam McMichael]

And another one bites the dust! Looks like a pretty good start to the season.

Thanks guys. Knawbone I was shooting some carbon arrows I have. I cut the bow a bit more to center than most hill bows hoping I would be able to shoot arrows I already have and it worked .They shoot good.
 Dan, the bow is a 66" string follow I made from action boo. Nothing scientific for sure from me just glued up and cooked then sanded till it looked and felt right. Then fine tuned a bit till it shot straight and  quiet for me. I really like the tennis wrap grip. It feels good.I asked a lot of questions on the bowyers forum and sent Charlie a pm. All were helpful. I`m gonna hunt with this one a bit and maybe around the first of the year try to take my time and build a purty one.By the way...I`m loading pictures of a good hunt this evening. for once the does are NOT winning.
