Osage bow
« on: January 12, 2014, 10:22:34 pm »
Here's an Osage bow I finished up a few days ago been shooting it like crazy. This bow was made from a stave I got from Osage outlaw hope ya like what came from it. About 52 pounds at 25 inchs I only draw alittle over that 65 1/2 inchs long. Shoots better then any bow I've ever made for sure I absolutely love it. I've easily already put 350+ arrows through it. Anyway some pics are from yesterday and some from today sorry for the horrible quality I only have an iPod to take pics.

Looks very nice! Just curious, is the brace height really high on this bow?

Looks good! Well done!
A suggestion, hope you don't mind:
You could get much more speed:
>lower the brace height to max 5"
>make a new string from BCY 452X, take 2x3 strands (that's enough), strengthen it at the ears with 2 pieces of B50 about 6 " long
>don't use silencers, when not hunting bow
>don't use 4 feather fletching, when not hunting bow
