First couple of arrows for a long time

Just had to share.
Managed to pluck up the courage to loose a few arrows as the elbow is starting to work again.
Might not sound much but if your favourite waste of time "me" time is to make bows and loose an arra,, then it stops suddenly its a downer.
This is the first chance I have had to put a few tentative dozen through a bow i finished months ago.

Anyways its still there. 15 yards and its coming in again. Need to widen the nocks but its good to be back

Now for some ibuprofen gel and heat

I have neglected shooting for years now to my shame.
I tend to make a bow, shoot a few dozen to see what arrows it like and make a set. Then it goes on the wall or to a customer and I start another one that will be faster or more efficient or another design or wood type. The bow is already broken in from the hours on the board so is well settled in.

Its not since I have been unable to shoot due to injury that I have missed it so much.
