first take down with homemade quiver/final pics pg 3/ added birch back
« on: February 10, 2015, 07:46:13 pm »
 This bow is definitely not my norm. Typically I'm shooting bendys under 60 inches. My buddy Dan (dgf) gave me a  takedown sleeve a few weeks back when they came to my house for a gathering. Always wanting to make a  take down I jump right on it. The bow is approx 63 inches ntn and right around 45 to 50 pounds at 26 inches. I built up the sleeve into a pistol grip fashion. This bow is a super smooth shooter and I was quite happy with the consistency of my shooting. Then I decided while I was stepping outside of my box to build a quiver for it. the hood is foam wrapped with leather and the hard rubber that attaches to the limb is wrapped in birch bark. The bottom piece is all rubber at the moment and I'm considering wrapping it also. All parts were donated to me from a shoe repair shop I used to work at in high school. I was very surprised to see that with the quiver on it my shooting actually improved. Absolutely no vibration at all. Hopefully the materials I used to build it will hold up for a long time but this was a learning curve for me. now all it needs is a polishing on the brass and a few more coats of oil. Thanks for looking

That thing stinks like dead deer already. This fall is going to be good times my friend! The bow and quiver are perfectly you, resourceful and slick.

Very cool Paul, your a very innovative and talented builder of things buddy. :)
Looks like you nailed that first takedown bow build, nice profile and tiller on that bow. Great job on the quiver as well. Looks like your hunting rig for Grayling this fall?
