speaking of glass bows.. if you were to make a bow and back it with glass drywall tape, would you still consider that a primitive bow?

NO!

Not to mention fg tape doesnt do much. It mostly keeps splinters out your eye when it blows up. The glue on it isnt enough to make the glass work.

Nice Bow ! I'm with Pearly on this - Selfbows or Fiberglass backed Longbow or Recurves - I love 'Em all. I like shootin' them, lookin' at them. I always say My favorite Bow is the one that happens to be in My hands at the moment. Bob

Drew, wished I would have known on the 58 grizzly.  Sold one at Kalamazoo for $60.00 two weekends ago.  I didn't want to haul it back home.

I was given two old black widows last week.  A long time friend died and his daughter wanted me to have them as my dad sold them to her father back in the 60's.  The target model, "The ghost" needs a tip repair but the hunting bow is probably the fastest bow I have ever shot.

But I would rather hunt with my osage!!

It really doesn't look too goo, i did it on a few waaaaaay back and painted them to make it look better, not primitive to me though use silk or linen, burlap has a real primitive look and has been around forever

Nice bow.  I don't like or dislike them.  They just don't hold any interest for me.  I have a takedown recurve that I got in trade from Steve Quinton a few years ago.  It a beauty and fast but I just never shoot it.
