Britny's bow
« on: December 05, 2010, 07:59:23 pm »
This bow was made from the stave Bobby initially gave me. When I asked him what he wanted me to do with it he asked if I could make it for his daughter, Britny. I knew there was still a good bow in it so here it is!
  This bow is 62"t/t and pulls 47#@26". Naked(no backing) with cow horn tip overlays, black braided nylon string handle wrap and a floppy rest. I added about 3" of reflex as I heat treated the belly to help keep the weight up after addressing the problems I ran into. She holds most of the reflex after unbracing.
  Bobby asked me what I wanted for Britny's bow. We had agreed that Bobby would make me a railroad spike hawk in trade for his bow. For the last two years Bobby has put his bladesmithing and fun time on hold to go to nursing school. Well, on Dec 14, Bobby will graduate from nursing school !  I told him that Britny's bow was a well deserved gift from me for all of his sacrifices, accomplishments, hard work and upcoming graduation from school. I'm very proud of Bobby(you too, TJ) for all he has accomplished in the last few years. Congratulations Bobby!!!  8) 8) 8) 8)

Here are braced and full draw pics...

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Dang Pat, she's a beauty. im sure Brit is going to love it.
TJ (Nugget) and i have been through a lot this last couple of years, and putting primitive archery to the side has been one of the sacrifices we have had to make. But we are going to go buck wild next yr. cant wait to become friends with my new bow and make some new arrows for it. I really appreciate everything you have done, and for the graduation gift. Not sure what im going to name it yet, there is way to many factors to consider as of now. But ill figure it out.

Another nice one. Is that the hind end of a Lab, maybe waiting for a chance at a stick?
