Yeah, Mr. Keable certainly makes an impressive, detailed, handcrafted bow, that's for sure.

I like...! :D
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

thanks for all the kind comments, I've hardly put it down since I got it. I find its a lot more fun to shoot than the compound and a lot less complicated. I am currently sorting out which arrows to shoot, I have some 55/75 carbons flying pretty well. now just plenty of practice and sort out a hunting trip. :lol: :lol:
