New Pics! Bamboo Backed, Juniper Short Bow
« on: March 22, 2009, 06:55:42 pm »
This is my finally finished bamboo backed juniper bow. It pulls 30# at 20" draw. Ntn it is 45 1/2". It's 1" wide at the handle.  ;D So what do you guys think of it?  :)

Congratulations, that is a real good job for a Boo backed juniper. It usually takes alot of set when using that combo,but your profile looks great. As Pat said, the tiller is spot on.

I thought that the Analogy was quite appropriate myself...and I was a little Proud that I came up with such a witty one at that... ::)

As for the Bow ....Colton....I really love the Bow....these are my Favorite kinds of Primitive Bow....Native American Bows to Me are the only Bows I will spend my Time to reproduce...and You did an awesome Job of making a Modern/Primitive Bow... ;) And I really like the Backdrop you chose for your Full Draw Picture....a fitting Scenery for such a Bow

I wasn't trying to belittle you....I was only poking fun at Ya..... Maybe with such a light draw weight.....it will stay together for you....if it were Mine....Murphy's Law would have already claimed it...... :( ;D

Colt don't let that big bad El Destructo guy rattle yer cage, he's all bark no bite ;) Besides I'm sure you can outrun the old guy :P

Ya did good in my book I like to see bows from unlikely types of woods and combinations put together
that the experts say don't work :) Besides the world would be mighty boring if all we had was yella wood eh :o :D
