Just in time for classic.
« on: April 27, 2013, 06:19:38 pm »
I have been working on this off and on for a few weeks. I was hoping to get it done in time to take it to the classic. I traded for the stave at the classic 3 yrs ago. Its hickory 57'' 42# @28" antler nocks and shelf with a braintan handle. Pretty simple lil bow nice shooter. Taking almost no set so far.

Sweet bend. Does it bend in the handle any?

Yes sir it's working in the handle. At 57" I should have got her bending in the middle a tad more, but I liked the first few bullets out of her.

Good example of a primitive and effective bow! Nice work.
