My 2015 hunting bow
« on: September 17, 2015, 06:19:58 pm »
This will be my 1st year hunting and i felt the need to make another....not that i need a reason ;). This one are sister billets and came from some nasty dead standing. 64 ntn, low 50's at 26/27. Horn overlays with round leather lace wrap handle. A mixture of acatone and black dye for finish with parafin oil make up the finish.Been shooting this one and i have 5 arrows that fly perfect out of it. Really looking forward to hanging with some of my primitive buddies in the woods this winter! Thanks for looking

Made the choice eh'? I like it. It has all a hunting bow needs to be a hunting bow.

Yup this is #1 and a hornbeam #2. Unless they blow up. I am shooting it very well at the moment. If I truly want to say I'm ready I can't be shooting all these random bows like i usually do

Good lookin' weapon, Paul.
Did ya cut in a wee shelf or is arrow support totally built out?
Best of luck in the game pursuit!

Good eye, I figured someone would call me out on that. I cut a  a quarter into the bow and built up the other  with leather

Hey Mike .......I didn't mean anything by it ....just in general if your trying to make a good shooting bow with a wide range of arrows... the closer to center shot the better chance you have to get that arrow shooting good from it.  That's why I make a lot of bow as close to center shot as possible with my self arrows......
