Sinew backed Juniper Trade Bow (Full Draw added)
« on: July 07, 2011, 01:09:00 am »
 This is a 58" sinew/snake backed Juniper Ambush bow. She has Gemsbuck horn tips and is dialed in to 50 lbs. at 26 inches. The Guy that I drew for the trade, wanted a shorter Ambush style bow that he could shoot from a tree stand or ground blind. She shoots out very well, and has just a slight bend in the handle when hitting full draw. This is the bow several of you saw at the Classic while I was still working on it. It is a trade bow for Tradgang and she is finally done and is mailing out in the morning. I have absolutely fell in love with this bow, going to have to make myself one someday ::) However Lulyn would say that is the case with every bow that I play with for a while. :-[

Wow!  That is an awesome looking bow.  I, too, love the attention to detail.  You might have just pushed me over the edge and made me want to tackle that sinewing project. :)

It is God who arms me with strength
   and keeps my way secure.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
   he causes me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
   my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

I liked it when I saw it at the Classic and like it even better now. Beautifull bow, Keenan.

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