My first bow Apple
« on: July 21, 2010, 02:27:58 pm »
This is my first successful bow it was made from a Apple limb, it is 60" ntn pulling 58# at 26" of draw, its not the prettiest thing but it flings sticks great! and now i have something to shoot ;D  It took some set after about a hundred arrows, and the top limb was deflexed and the bottom had some reflex to start with, but i think i got it tillered ok for my first bow.

Cool first Bow!!!!  Congratulations on your first successful bow!  Nothing like launching your first arrows at a target from a bow you created with your own hands! Tiller looks great on it.  8)  Got it bookmarked for July Self BOM too.  :)
