Longbow for Eagle Scout
« on: August 30, 2015, 04:44:15 pm »
Here is a bow I made for a young man who recently earned his Eagle Scout Award.
He has worked hard and is an excellent example to the other boys.
I hope he enjoys this bow.  It's been fun to make and is fun to shoot!

Hickory Longbow
Slight rounded belly
72" TTT
42#@28"
Buffalo Horn Tips and Arrow Shelf
Leather Wrapped Handle
FF String (8 strands I believe)

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
