Well, you put an arrow on the shelf, nock it, draw and release.
Aim small, miss small!
Re: First attempt at self bow
It shoots pretty good. I haven’t put a rug rest on it yet just off the bare shelf. I know the 60-65 spine spruce that I shoot off my Rick Welch Dakota are way to stiff because the shelf isn’t cut as deep. I’ll have to make another test kit to find the right spine.

Nice, glad to hear it.

Wow that’s amazing.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Very nice bow.But the shelf is on the wrong side.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
