Russian Olive, Mojave type Bow
« on: October 07, 2011, 08:02:20 pm »


 Just finished this Russian Olive Mojave type bow .
 52"ntn 38#@27"  It was fun to build and a fun little shooter. Starts off at approx 40# and after shooting it awhile it drops down to about 38# maybe a little less.

Thanks for looking, Chuck

Thats the second gorgeous Russian Olive bow you have put out lately Chuck. I need to find some of that to whittle on. Perfect bend by the way.

Thanks all for looking and kind words,

TurtleCreek at the center of handle is approx 1 1/2" wide and 1/2" thick with a very low crowned back and flat belly. The limbs very in width widest 1 3/4" narrowest 1 1/4" The tips narrow last 5-6 inches to 3/4" with pin nocks.


Kpete you find your RO yet?

I cant believe how this wood bends and takes heat good to did flip the tips a bit and on my other RO bow I altered it a lot with heat, all with good results.

Thanks again for Looking, Chuck
