New turkey whacker...."WHD"
« on: April 03, 2012, 11:52:09 pm »
Bill Dempler was his name and raising kick butt hedge was his game..................not by choice! Bill passed just a few months back and I asked his son Joe if I could name my first bow from the farm wood after his dad. He was honored and the game was on! This is she. 60" ntn, 48# (for now)@ 28". Its 1 3/8" wide 12" beyond the fades tapering to 1/2" tips. The back has two layers of sinew and one 1/2" band down the center. I used hide glue for that. The skins are WDB from Cippy. The tips are wenge and osage lam'ed together. Im trying an 8 strand D97 string. WOW that speeds a bamboo shaft right up! :o Turkeys hunting is right there with deer hunting for me! They better be ready this season!

Pearly another excellent looking bow. Full draw is money. Man you sure know how to put those skins to use. It's perfect camo. Well done  ;)
