Ash Flatbow Ardea
« on: July 22, 2010, 01:00:33 pm »
Hi!

This is my latest Ash Flatbow I made.

Length: 69"
Drawweight: 35#@27"
Stringfollow: < 1"
32" drawlength would be no problem, but this one should be a loyal friend for a long time.

Nocks made of buffalohorn
6 strands Dacron
Leatherhandle

Sleek and minimalist.  It's a beauty.  Your camo needs tweaking, though... I can still see you.   ;)

Beautiful. You're bows have this elegance I can't describe. I also really love how you get your tips so thin. Bet its a sweet shooter. Great job.  :)

Wow.  The elegance of that thing is amazing.  Simple, clean, and freaking beautiful.  Love the handle wrap man.  What'd you use?  Again, congrats.
