My Hackberry 2012 Trade Bow
« on: July 24, 2012, 07:51:27 pm »
Received this Sweet Hackberry D-Bow from Beetlebailey1977.

Meant to get this post out last week but have been covered up lately.

It is 53# @ 27", 61.5" nock to nock and 63" over all.
Good Looking Bow and Light as a Feather in the hand.
Only had time to put a few dozen shots through her but am Very Happy with the results.
Looking forward to spending more time with this bow once things quieten down on the Western Front.

Thank You Beetle!
You did a Great Job!
Really Like the Beaver Grip and Silencers!!  :)

Full draw will have to come later as I'm having difficulty getting the Camera, Bow, and my Wife together at the same time these daze.

Now to the Photos!

I love that bow, great wood to.

Gus I am glad you like it.  I enjoyed making it.  This was my first stave bow.  The hackberry is some fine wood to work with.  A drawknife and scraper cut it so well.
Happy hunting to all!
