Man that bow is awesome! Im sure you'll have a great time hunting with it. Nothing compares to hunting with your own handmade equipment. I got my first two stone point kills this year and it was beyond a rush!! Nothin like it man!! Let me know if you need a few more stone heads to hunt with. I'd be glad to send some your way. Thanks for sharing fella. Good luck :) :) :)

@lesken2011 thanks much.  I worked hard on the tips :)
@Jamie thank you.  I definitely have tons to learn.  But it's exciting now that I know some basics I'm anxious to get more creative with future designs!
@ErictheViking for sure!  Boyering may be my new passion but hunting is my life.  I'm so excited to hunt with weapons I created.  I am not cocky but I am confident in my skill as a hunter so with a little luck I will get that first primitive weapon kill this year!  I'll be filming my hunts too so hopefully I'll be able to share.
@Will I am already super stoked to go hunting with it.  Turkey is coming up!  I got a gobbler with a compound last year; let's see if I can do it with my osage now.  :)
@Chris you know it brother!  Season can't come quick enough!!

Nice one, looks real good, and so yellow!  ;)  I'll probably never get my hands on any osage, but I see everyone just seems to love it. Congratulations on this one, hope it'll serve you well.

but first and foremost: good luck hunting!

Great job!  I am putting the finishing touches on my first osage bow and know how you  feel.  Osage rocks...  I was a little giddy after the first few arrows were shot out of mine.  That is a fine looking bow.  I bet it's a sweet shooter.

that bow came out great!!!  Can you feel it? Can you feel the addiction beginning? I know I will be seeing more quality bows from you in the future.
