Holmegaard bow
« on: September 25, 2014, 03:10:42 pm »
Holmegaard. Elm. 55#-28". Made for a good customer and very good friend. Dyed and equipped with buffalo horn overlays. Nice, fast and simple. 3 good things. A little bit longer than the original, but really very close.

nice looking rig there, only thing I question is how sharp the edges are in the handle/fade area
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Your imagination is a 10+.  That Handle is really unique shooting both sides and a sweet bend.    8)

There is no problem with that, because the handle is totally stiff. It's a holmegaard bow and the original has that kind of handle.
Thank you guys.'
