Bushboy Bow
« on: August 04, 2015, 05:18:45 pm »

I received this bow a week or so ago, but finally was able to take it to my spot to get some photos and fling some arrows.
Thanks so much, it's a great shooting bow and my first self bow made by another bowyer.
Its made of elm, with elm bark handle wrap and arrow pass. Smooth draw and release and  the finish work is top notch.
I love the owl feather wind gauge too!  :D don't worry guys we've can possess them up here
cheers!
