I did not have an apple at hand.

Glad it's got you itching because my primary motive is to convert you from a compound to a stickbow. Try it with the compound first and the penny will eventually drop.

Naughty Fellow arrived yesterday afternoon.

Despite the bowyer missing my desired poundage (he offered to build another), it still has plenty of oompf in it.

Nice friend you have their Mack The Knife.Congratulations on the new toy.

I have some of the folks posting on this thread on my ignore list,so can not follow the entire debate. However, from what I could gather, this bow is going to herald the second coming of William Tell :mrgreen:

Lovely.....in case your friend builds another for you, can i have this one? :o :lol: .And i retract my earlier statement.It seems you are renowned even among custom bow makers. :cheers:

Looking forward to seeing it in action.
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Which statement? Are you smoking something illegal?

You know perfectly well who does the smoking.I said " Why would a custom bow maker make you a bow for free?" earlier.An unwarranted jibe.

Yeah well...there is nothing really jibe worthy about you.Besides - i find it difficult to say anything of that nature...seeing you are much older and wiser.If you want, i can try and be mean if you wish :lol:

My wit and humor have a while to go before you will find it more pleasing to partake of than say Black label.Or Marlboro's.

Mack,
What a beauty!
Looking forward to seeing how she shoots.

Cheers, XL!

Right now I can do videos of me shooting or the arrows hitting the target but I cannot combine both in the same frame.

Actually, right now I cannot even shoot Naughty Fellow :( until I reinforce the back stop and figure out what brace height, nock height and arrows it prefers.
