NRA bow
« on: August 15, 2013, 06:15:47 pm »
This one took forever to finish (one with the overlay problem), will be donated to an NRA auction our shooting club holds. Because I don't have a bow scale I just let the bow be the weight it wants to, this one came out way high, but the more I think of it the less I worry, the people at this event all want the biggest fastest and strongest things, and with it being 56#@25" I don't have any concerns if somebody wants it for pig or large game hunting. 62"ntn, skins are terminated with a strip of inner juniper bark.

Killer bow Newindian!! That baby is a good looker and I like the specs,(56# @ 25"), a real hunting bow that would easily dispatch big game in a hurry. Very generous of you to donate that fine handmade bow to a good cause. :)

That is a sweet bow.  I hope it starts a good old fashion bidding war, cause it should!
