Birthday Present For Peanut
« on: November 10, 2014, 08:21:05 pm »
Our youngest daughter turned 3 last Friday and I decided to make a bow for her birthday  :) Its a R/D Osage selfbow that weighs in at a whopping 10lbs@18",and 36"ntn. It has osage tip overlays,and a cork built up handle and shelf wrapped in hemp. It only weighs 3.8 ounces..lol  :laugh: This is no toy,and rips a mean arrow.... It was priceless seeing her unwrap it,pull it out,stand up with it raising it up with a smile on her face saying "oooooo...a bow"...and then when we went out to shoot it for the first time; her face glowed with a big grin after every arrow....priceless!!!!!  ;D We shot it again today,and I tried to take some photos before I let her shoot,and I couldn't get her to smile cus she said "dad,i just want to shoot now"  :laugh: anyway...heres some photos and a video of her first shot and shots  ;D

smiles all around  :)
























heres the video...hope it works..it gave us grief uploading n wouldn't play for us  ???  ???  ???

Might qualify for Bow of the Month, but it is totally shadowed by BEST DAD EVER award from Laurel!

That's just plain cool.  Chris I second Clint, that is the coolest ten pounder I have ever seen.  Her face shooting that thing is priceless.

Happy shooting :)
