Ewan's wild cherry bow
« on: November 11, 2012, 01:35:47 am »
A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of my grandaughter shooting her vine maple bow.  (The Warrior Princess )
A grandpa has to be fair, so here are some pictures of Ewan and his bow.  It's wild cherry backed with rawhide; I glued some spotted material to the back of the bow and some stick on paw prints to the belly.  Here's Ewan shooting his bow.

Nice job, Papaw!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Spyder, the bow is about 44" ttt and draws 10# @ 14". Yeah Zion, The draw weight is 10# but he never comes to full draw, but he's still learning. Dale
