Built my first Molle! (Pic heavy)
« on: June 22, 2011, 08:17:48 pm »
Hey everyone,

Just finished up this bow. Its my first molle and i must say that I am impressed with this design. It shoots hard and fast and looks pretty sick too. Can't wait to take to my local gun/archey range to show it to some compound folks.  ;D Anyway heres the stats. (Sorry my crappy pics don't do it justice)

60" n2n
45#@28"
Working Limbs are 2" wide and 14"  long
Levers are 3/4" tapering to 3/8" with pin nocks and are 12" long not including the fade.
It took about 5/8" set (measured at the end of working limb)
Handle is just simple leather and I shoot off my hand.

Thanks Guys..... Can't wait to see the looks on on some of the wheelie shooters when they see this.

Bub the wood is red oak finished with light brown leather dye and 8 coats of tru oil. My goal is to prove that though many beginers use red oak, you can build just about any bow style from it as well as long as your careful.

You did a excellent job.  That is a fine looking bow and the tiller looks very nice.  I like the finish you put on it.  It shows the wood very nicely.
