Hey fellas,
I made this bow for Jodocus, and it's probably going to be only Odawa pattern bow in Switzerland

. The bow is 54" because I made it the regular width but he wanted more weight than a regular NA bow. stats are 57/58 # @ 26" ash backed elm. The arrow pass side is red w/yellow seperators and the "off" side is black w/ yellow seperators. One the belly I titled the bow L'arc des cheveux relevez.... meaning "bow of the standing hair" (that's what the French recognized as Odawa,standing hair nation. The medicine feathers are wild turkey left wing allula's dressed with beaver fur and one with black bear hair. There are 3 full draw pics......the black shirt one is the Original tiller profile (circle w/ stiff tips) and the bow stood at 62# @ 24" so I decided to go full circle ( the other 2 pics) and the bow settled in at 57/58# @ 26". I actually do change tiller sometime and thought ya might get a giggel out of it.
Enjoy the pics and comments are allways welcome. I sure hope he likes it because them improt/duty fees are a real killer there.

I just got back in, today, and wouldn't you know....another bow from Half Eye posted. I love them red tips, and of course the bend ain't half bad either.

That's another sweet one there Rich! Jodocus, you are getting something special. I was fortunate enough to get one of his little short bendy bows, so I know from experience that you will always treasure that one. I bet it shoots great!

The mailman came by some days ago, trough a biblical rainflood, and brought me l'arc des cheveux relevez.

Since now it's dried up, I thought I'd give you another peek at it, it's such a beauty.

A very fluent shooting experience, light, about 12 ounces, and quick.

And the best is, I hit the target nicely and confidently from the first arrow on.

Thank you, Rich.
