Hi all Normally I like your simple self bow but always wanted to try a character bow and fancy it up with a paint job.There has been some awesome character bows on here lately and I thought I would share mine.It's a young ash 69 1/2 ntn  48# @ 26" of pull.Heat treated,deer tip overlay,leather handle and whackey tiller job but hey it shoots great and has not taken any set.Thanks all for the inspiration-and for looking.Hammertime

It's a Yumi  ;D Crazy is the perfect word for it.  Great job with it though, I wouldn't have the patience to tackle that.

Wow, what an interesting looking bow, and what a way to take a 'trash' piece of wood and turn it into a working beauty. I applaud you.

i can only respond with two words
first of which would be" WOW"
second would be    "incredible"
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
