Nice looking bows, everyone. Pearlie boy, don't let little Twinkie get to you, I've never seen him come on this site with anything he has built but a stir stick.

Not too shabby BS!  I was wondering which one you considered your first bow.  Josh

Thanks Blackhawk.

It's really cool seeing everyone's 1st bows. Though to be honest I'd have to label mine "1st successful bow". I made alt of toys and campfires before that. :-)

Well, its not exactly my first bow, that one was willow wood and went back to earth almost sixty years ago. But, it is the first one that I took a deer with over thirty-five years ago. Osage, about sixty pounds. Hmmmmmmm, next year, if I'm able, this is the bow of choice! Thanks for bringing this up!!!!
