What matters more? Tiller or meat?
« on: June 07, 2013, 09:41:49 pm »
This is a first for me of posting a bow here. Oregon yew selfbow, 60"ntn, 58# @ 27", 1.25" at widest, 3/4" at deepest. Moose hoof overlay tips, leather shelf with fake sinew handle wrap. Got a moose with it two years ago, 62" rack. He got shot and then swam out and died in the middle of the river. Good times.

I'd say the proof is in the moose pudding. Nice bow and nice moose.  :)

Hey Chadwick, I love it. Simple and effective and sweet to look at too. I have never seen overlays on like that either; looks cool.

I usually keep the tips off moose hooves when I get them, especially if there's white striping. The white striping turns out to be clear keratin, it shapes just fine. Stinks horribly when you sand it or cut it, though! I've used moose hoof as an overlay a bunch, and also some whale rib bone from a dug-up whale skeleton.

Nice bow, nice moose! Tiller is often in eyes of the beholder but meat is yummy all the time  :)

Moose matters most man!  ;D
Nice bow and obviously quite deadly arrow delivery.

Functionality is all that matters. Looks like the bow has more than it takes to be functional and really the tiller isn't that bad anyways

Nice... The bow is a perfect 5/6 scale English warbow  :laugh:
Obviously good for Moose or little French knights
