my name is Rob & i have an addiction....
« on: May 29, 2009, 02:21:34 am »
i've been lurking here off & on for 8hrs & 2 minutes according to my log, but never posted anything- sorry, didn't feel worthy. i regularly drool over the BOM's, but they make me shy.

Kegan got me started making my own last summer, & I've come to LOVE making bows!

here's a sweet "Beast" of a bow i finished this week. 70" ntn hickory backed ipe with rounded belly & elk overlays. she pulls 70# @ 30", but i've been shooting her for the last week thinking she was 60# or so- i guess that means that she's smooth since i didn't think i could shoot a 70# bow, but i digress.
 on to some pics-

Well done.  Tiller looks great to me, I like the look of the double nock, and very nice unbraced profile.

don't be shy, but be proud of an excellent bow you made by yourself!

 Very nice bow Rob.  The relaxed profile,tiller and color contrast all look awesome. Good for you for stepping up and posting. Don't ever be thinking that your not good enough to post. We all start in the same place and learn from each other. Congratulations on a very fine bow.

I can't get past that view past the bow.  I can see me sipping some coffee out there, then taking that fine bow and firing off some shots.
