I find them to be quite easy.  Do you have a string jig?  I don't know where you are, but if you can make it in to the Federal Wholesale Sports I can walk you through the whole process.

I just taught my 11 yr old daughter how, she made her first 4 or 5 days ago. Not the best, but it will work. She is going to try and build 2-4 a week and I'll sell them for her so she can bring some bucks in!!!

Not trying to make you feel stupid, just saying, you'll get the hang of  it and then it will be EZ...  Keep them twists tight!

Once you get over the learning curve it's a piece of cake.

 :yeah:
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.
