Bowyer comments: Here's what Ryan had to say about his bow: I've had this one done a week or so, but I needed to do some more tip work on it..but finally finished it up. A true static Osage recurve. Its 59.5" long tip to tip. and 68# @ 26" unbacked! It is an arrow screamer for sure. my 60-65 spined shafts are a tad to light for it, gonna have to get some 70's. The tips line up very well, string tracks perfectly without any twist. The tips are Pronghorn Antelope horn. the tips have a couple streaks in them that is down into the horn which i'm not crazy about but they have some awesome translucent spots in them that kinda make up for it..lol. Im am super pleased with this one. My best 'curve to date for sure. Thanks for lookin at it! Ryan
