bighorn sheep bow #13

(1/7) > >>

loefflerchuck:
Here is my most recent completed bighorn bow. 36.25" tip to tip. 35" ntn. The tag was from north Dakota on these rocky mt bighorns. I think I remember they were 29" and 30" around the curl and 13.75" bases. Lap splice with 2 handle sections on top and bottom. 7 Copper rivets in the handle. 6 layers of elk and moose leg sinew. 1 layer of long deer backstrap on top. This bow took a large amount of reflex. About a foot. Even after leaving it strung for 3-5 days strait and shooting, it returned to 10" of reflex after being unstrung a few days. Finished this bow in 6 months. 
 55-57# @ 19.5". A short draw for one of these bows, but 19.5 feels like a safe full draw for $450 horns. This bow tested very fast.
