My first bow
« on: July 04, 2013, 06:01:17 pm »
]Well I finally got the bow done that I worked on at the Tenn.Classic. It was a bow blank I got from Gary Davis. It is 58"NTN 64@25.It shoots quiet and hard. I put western diamond back on it. It does have about 2" of string follow. But still preforms well. Iam happy with it . I hope to kill a deer with it this fall. The arrows in the pic are some that I have made recently. Thanks for looking.

Nice bow and arrows are sweet also. Looks like a deer this fall is a very real possibility if you keep shooting it like that. :)

Superb job on your first bow. 2 inches of set is not too bad for a bow that short with a stiff handle. It's doing some serious bending.
