Been awhile...Rocky Mt. Maple stick
« on: March 25, 2016, 03:31:35 pm »
She's starting to come around.  It's been awhile since I've made a bow.  She's out to 24", now.  We'll see how she shapes up.  Looking like close to 50#.  I'm aiming more toward 45#  Twistedlimbs gave me this sapling stave 3 years ago after he left Montana to come back to FL.

Anyhow, shaping her up.

Thanks guys.  Had a 15 year old girl over yesterday learning to shoot.  I love teaching kids to shoot.  So fun.
Ajooter, the bow is 58" tip to tip.  I like Maple.  I've found that it definitely prefers steam over dry heat.  There is a big kink in it and the stick was pretty funky but it's mostly out.  Bet I'll get it shooting today.

Cheers brothers.  I'll update pictures as I go.
