I have several Osage bows in the 50-60 pound at 27" range that shoot in the high 180's to low 190's that hold a 1" reflex after more than half a decade of use and I don't have baby them in the woods while I walk around. Nuff said. Osage is king.

Oh yea, and none of my osage bows exceed 63" in length and 1.25 in width, keeping them easy to maneuver in the brush. Few wood species can handle that design, at that length, with those weights, and still retain reflex and never fret.

I'd love to see a video of that! That would put a selfbow right up there with the absolute best modern recurves and longbows on the market.

A 56# at 27" bow consistently shooting 186/7 with a 450 grain arrow....nah. Here's the bow I'm talking about.
