Finally finished my bow. Had some issues putting it together because of the acorn nutz. If you are using the Ragim Matrix jr. bow the limbs are held onto the riser's using ***METRIC*** bolts. So you must find an acorn nut in metric size. Which, according to Lowe's, would have to be specially ordered but they do sell it so prepare for the time for it to ship out to you. Obviously, today is my last day as my Halloween party is tonight. So what I did was grab a pack of 4 metric 8mm hex nutz, put those on as tight as I could get it to secure the string and the pressure of the string. To ensure it still draws and would not snap apart. Then I attached the acorn nutz on top of that for the looks. Check out the pic. Also, one side of the bow I copied Oliver's symbols but I could not get a good pic of the other side that was original to his symbols so I just took the symbols from the front side and free handed the same symbols, in my own random order. I also snuck in my initials, a couple of little lightning bolts in honor of the Flash and then using his symbols I secretly spelled out "GEMMA" in honor of my favorite character from Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. I know DC/Marvel universe cross-over here but I love Fitz-Simmons. Anyways, check out the pic. *After a month of sanding the damn riser alone and almost lighting my house on fire, it's finally done! I also ordered the costume itself, which I'll post up a pic so you guys can see, probably in the Definitive CW Arrow Thread, which I ordered from TheJacketMaker. And even tho it cost $450, you also are getting it custom fit to your measurements, the jacket w/detachable hood, pants and the quiver. Great quality, flexibility (built in spandex around the knee) and looks absolutely amazing!
