My First Bow
« on: May 20, 2014, 09:48:08 am »
Hey all. Just wanted to show off my very first bow. I dedicate this bow to JW Halverson who introduced me to this art. Thanks bud. Just in case you were wondering, no those weren't my first shots and no I probably can't repeat it. It was at 20 yards and after that I decided to stop for the day

Very cool. Even with JW help you manages to get a shootable bow.  ;D (John knows he's loved  ;) )  Keep those first 2 shot in your minds eye. They may come in handy again some day.

It's always great to see photos of people's first bows.  You beat me by a mile!
Keep up the good work!

great job on your first bow man.  I'm curious what kind of wood and the specs.  Nice work.

I'm guessing vine maple? If you peel the bark and let the sap dry it turns that golden color.

Looks like a great first bow to me!

Wow and WOW!  Nice first bow awesome first, or four hundreth shots!  JW was rumored to have once known a thing or two about bowyering.  I see he gave some of those bits of know how to you!
