another short bow
« on: July 29, 2007, 03:33:41 pm »
Finished this bow just today. Wasn't real happy with the one I had made right before this one so gave it another try. Other one developed a fret and this one is so far so good!!

  Wanted it for turkey and some 3-d.  It's osage and rawhide backed.  Backed only because I wanted to try rawhide.   44# @ 26" and 53" ntn. Nice to shoot, no hand shock to speak of and shoots where I'm looking. Maybe not real fast but hope it works good for the turkeys!! ;D

  First try at this kind of shelf and first one I've made and not cut a shelf. My wife did did  artwork on back which was copied from an original bow we had taken a picture of at an older gentlemens house we were working at.

   Got to go shoot it some more ;)....later, Lowell

Wow! I always like those sweet little shorties! Seems to be a good candidate for thumping some turkeys ;).

 You got a lot out of that little chunk of wood, excellent work. Also, give my compliments to your wife for her artwork-love it.
