Only my third finished bow, I'm nonetheless proud of the way this little smooth shooter turned out. It's a solid piece of hickory, 72" long and 67" ntn. It pulls 40# at 27", making it still a good weight for some light hunting yet a comfortable draw weight for hours of target practice. Some of the features on this bow include an hemp cord wrapped handle, my first attempt at an arrow shelf, and some unusual faux horn tips. I overlayed small blocks of hickory and glued those down before making the double nocks, and also added a little extension of cedar on the tips for decoration. The tips are finely carved to give the impression of hickory leaves. The bow is stained with ebony then coated with polyurethane. It has a brace height of 6 and half inches, and with a self-made endless loop hemp cord string, it really zips the arrows beautifully. We almost never get snow in this part of Texas, so these pictures my wife took are exceptional for that reason. I thought I'd share a few with you.
