"Ray" is the second west coast style bow I did this summer/ fall. Flat sawn white hickory, 58" NTN, 53# at 26", backed with linen, jute handle wrap. After shooting, the upper limb has 2" of set, the lower limb 1". North Missouri was real wet all summer and subsequently I didn't have the M.C. as low as it should have been, otherwise I'm happy. Given the colors and the hard-hitting, durable nature of the wood, I decided to name it after Packers' Hall-of-famer Ray Nitschke.
