"Made In Kentucky"
« on: April 01, 2013, 08:03:04 pm »
This was the bow I made from scratch down at Daves(hedgeapple) get together down in good ole Kentucky(hence the name)  ;)  Its just a simple standard American osage flatbow with flipped tips...64 1/2" ntn....47@28"...21 ounces mass weight....jicarillo tip overlays....stitched leather handle grip....a good ole classic shooter  ;)















for kicks n giggles ill show a pic of what it looked like on my down to Daves...its the stave in the middle with the bark off and dark n black discolored sapwood with a branch sticking out of it...that branch is center of my handle,and I snaked around it to give it that almost centershot profile  ;)  8)





Thanks for looking guys....this ones for all the great guys that came down and hung out that weekend(which was everybody)    ;)  ;D

Nice looking bow Chris, bet it shoots sweet with those Blackhawk patented thin tips. Like the unbraced profile too.

Never get tired of lookin at sweet Bodark bows.  Those Blackhawk tips look about chop stick size.

Man, the title made me think this was going to be something to do with bourbon 8) . Very nice bow Chris! I liked the looks of the overlays when you had them clamped up Saturday. Should have some real good mojo ;)
