Snakey holmgaard hickory/lots of pics added
« on: October 18, 2013, 08:56:48 pm »
Hello fellas.Here's a 60.5" NTN snakey centershot hickory I made around the time I made the other 2 snakey hickories I posted a while back.Somewhere around a 60/40 ratio.1and3/8" at the fade and 7/16" thick midlimb.10" stiff levers to 7/16" tips.Horn overlays.It was my favorite for quite a while.I took it with me to 7 or 8 3D shoots and stump shot it a lot so there's at least 1000 arrows through it.It likes my 55# spine firs and tonkins.Did'nt have this digital camera at the time I made it.Heat treated belly.Stout piece of wood hovering with a 1/4" of soft set after shooting returns to 1/4" resting set back in two hours.54#@28".Highlited the bow with charcoal grey & light brown alcohol dye.Leather wrap handle.Weighs 16.35 oz.as is.Before handle and finish somewhere in the low 15.00s' oz. before.Very quiet bow and fun to shoot.Thanks for looking.
First at rest
