« on: January 09, 2012, 07:27:07 pm »
I just recieved this in the mail from Hawkbow I dont know the specs on it yet but hopeing he will weigh in on the specs on this one so I know. I took some pictures after un wrapping it so here they are. The full draw picture will come when I have my camera women and know what the draw length is ;D Also I am pretty sure it is a Oak board bow backed with diamond back skin and it has a artificial sinew string. Thanks again Hawkbow and thanks for looking

unbraced bow


belly shot


Grip and arrow shelf


Back of bow with skins


Braced bow


Knock grooves and tips


Full draw to come and cant wait to shoot it, Thanks again Hawkbow

That tiller looks a little funny. I've made a couple of bows that turned out being tillered like that. But mine broke  :laugh: Hopefully yours will be a good shooter

I love the little one in the background reaching for the bow.....reminds me of my 3 year old.  Every time I pull out the bow I need to bust his out too so he can be like dad.  Its even worse if I'm trying to make a hand drill fire.

Enjoy the bow and its very nice of you to post all these pictures I'm sure it makes the builder feel special.

Cool little bow Josh and Hawkbow.  From looking at the string angle I don't think I'd pull that little bow much more than you have in the full draw pic.

Shoots good, thanks for looking. I got a message from hawkbow and he said he has video of him making the bow on some outdoor program or something and video of the snake being taken. He said he would send me a copy so I look forward to that as well.
