 :o :o :o That is some pretty osage! Enough with the teasing all ready!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

OK, I'm forming a posse and we're ridin' to Hickory Bill's homestead.  When we get there we'll all admire, fondle and shoot his bow.  If he says anything, we'll just whack him in the head with it.  Who's with me?  We ride at sunrise.  >:D

Well here is the bow..I haven't got a full draw yet..But I figured I better get a few pics up before I got lynched and strung up by the posse..Me a and Outbackbob shot a 3d course today and this bow performed flawless..The bow is 68 tip to tip(with a small amount of natural deflex,but with the flipped tips she stands dead straight) She pulls 55#@27 and is real smooth, quiet, and fast....Bob can atest to that..I was going for an old style longbow from the early 1900's, since that's what the wood was intended for with the original bowyers...I named the bow "Old School"...Hope ya like...Gitty Up!
