Outstanding thread :biggrin: , Dave will be happy with the new bow and it wont take him long to give it a bit of mojo character. I thought naming the bow in memory of Pedro was also a thoughtful gesture by Dave I know they shared a lot of hunt camps togeather.

Some nice pics posted Rob on the build along, I know these threads take a great deal of time, thanks for your effort there also.

Looking forward to seeing the bow go from workshop to Flatlining critters in the field. If I know Dave there will be no shortage of that. :lol:

Cheers Macca.

Thanks slvrslngr/Chris, but speaking of taking time for the benifit of others, glad you finished you ride in one piece, great effort.

Don't know if you let anyone else on the site know so I'll tell them. slvrslngr/Chris has just completed a 1000 KM mountain bike ride on the Mundabiddi trail WA to raise money in the fight against cancer.
Here's a link to his fund raising site if any one would like to contribute to a very worthy cause.http://main.acsevents.org/goto/ChrisMundaBiddiRide
