Here is a black locust flatbow I just finished up.The bow is 64 inches tip to tip,inch and a half at the widdest and fades down to half inch at the nocks,the bow has a braintan buckskin handlewrap and is 55#@ 26 inches it is a fast shooter and I believe I will hunt with this one the rest of the season.
