Bow for the wife

My wife and i have been married for 30 years, and in all those years, I've shot archery. In those years she has casually mentioned learning to shoot maybe a half dozen times and to be quite honest, I never took her seriously.
Well...............a month or so ago, I mentioned to her that a woman co-worker had asked me to teach her to shoot archery. The reaction was unexpected. "You are not going to teach anyone to shoot until you teach me!"
I had this riser laying around collecting dust so I picked up a set of 30# limbs for it and made her some arrows. I threw it together this morning and took it for a test drive. These are the first 4 arrows shot from it at 20 yds. With a little more tweaking after she gets it for Christmas, it should be a great one for her to learn with.

Shovel, your handy work amazes me. Very artistic and extremely functional.

That gift should secure you another 30 years.

Hope you're prepared for some competition, let us know how she does.

That's what I'm afraid of. The last time I took her fishing she caught more and landed larger fish than I did. That was the last time I took her fishing. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Nice looking bow Jay, she should be very happy with it. Good luck to the two of you, I think it would be great if my wife shot a bow. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
