womans osage bow I'm keepin' it
« on: December 18, 2009, 12:37:31 am »
Hi everyone, just thought i'd show a bow I made for a woman, from a leftover split of osage. It's not fancy but Dang it shoots hard! It pulls 45# @26'' .3/4'' @ widest point, 63''. I shoot 5/16'' arrows in it.It's really fast. I guess its the low mass in the limbs. Its not  a pretty bow but it nests arrows really tight. A good competition bow for me. Sorry ladies! Just goes to show you how far a little osage can go. Osage is the King. Phil

Nice work, looks like a fine bow, and still a great weight for shooting at whitetails or competition.

Cool little bow! This is one of the reasons I love osage. It really doesn't take much osage to make a good hunting weight bow.  8) ...and you done this splinter proud!

I need Osage!!! I have to say the site of a woman with a bow is a wondrous thing to behold, so how about making her another one!?
