a while back my granddaughter said she wanted a bow, like in avatar, the movie bow is basically a D bow but with this curved, feather like addition, and this is what I came up with, all laminated hickory, rit blue dye and the other paint acrylic applied with turkey feathers, anyway Daisy liked it,, Bub

thank's Del, I'm not really into these concept bows, but it's what she wanted, forgot to mention it's 48" tip to tip and26# at 24", she just likes to sort of flight shoot and uses that palm out release from the movie, and gets a smooth release, Bub

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Cool bow!  Bright colors and great job pulling off a great movie reference.  She should be very happy with that bow.  Got it bookmarked for Feb. BOM contest too.  :)

As my students might say, "that is sick nasty!!!"  :o

Any kid (and some adults) would love to have their hands on that. Great job!
