Birthday bow
« on: February 04, 2013, 05:31:37 pm »
My oldest son turned 5 and it was time to make him a new bow, He helped me layout the bow, and tried to use a spokeshave as best he could. He certainly had specific requests on the finishing touches. The bow is from a Hickory board, and is a pyramid shape.

48" tip to tip, right around 18 pounds at a 20" draw. Right now it a little too much bow for him but his old one will hold him over until he grows again, which could be any week now!

When I was a kid, I used to shoot the arrow at The Gopher.  Best keep your head down....I've gotten much better with a bow.*

He looks so proud of himself with his very own weapon.  That's a great photo of the kid.  Keep it up, he'll be growing so fast you will have to make a new bow every month.
