Granddaughters bow,w/ handle pics added
« on: November 04, 2010, 11:10:43 pm »
This little bitty osage ,a deflex-reflex,is my granddaughters first bow.After doing a little research on our fine site,and gleaning info from several of y'all,concerning draw weights for children,this is what I came up with.I'm calling the first draw 8#@12",to about15# @16",although I have already gone several inches past that,by accident,so it should be good for several years of safe shooting.40" tip to tip.It is a little less than 3/4" wide at the handle,then tapers evenly to 1/4" tips.Cherry overlays,and a cane grip.This little toot will shoot a 296 grain kid arrow 90yards at 16"of draw.Sorry it's just me showing the bow,as the baby is'nt due till the first of January. ;D God Bless

 Pete!, that arrow is too long!  Just kidding, that boy is cute, just like I'm sure your granddaughter will be. I wish the Mom and the little one well.

You just can't seem to get enough of well crafted Hickory bow.

Very nice, Pete.
