Sister statics (No. 73 + 74) part 2

[simson]

Well here is part 2 of the story. (Part 1 is here: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,56092.0.html)

This is a bow very similar looking to the first one, only a bit more mass, a lot of heated in reflex, the outers let a bit stiffer – but with a good twenty pounds more of drawweight.

After shot in it still holds a nice reflex of 6½”. Bracing that bow isn't an easy thing, but it shoots like a dream, one of my fastest bows for sure.

I try to vary the leather handle work on each bow, here the handle is carved asymmetrical and the leather stitching is on the side. The finger grooves is simple underlays of leather strips.

Another special thing on this bow is: it is near to a centershot, because the whole area of fades and handle makes a whoop to the right side (seen from belly).




Specs:

64#/28”
61” ntn
550 gram mass

Simon those look great. I love those subtle ridges you throw in. 
You've gone beyond perfect on otherwise simple designs

[Pat B]

Now, that's some reflex. I bet it is a bear to brace but I also bet it shoots very well. Well done, again!   

[Hans H]

wow sir, well done like always,
Hans

[ajooter]

Another beauty!  Love the fingers grooves and side stitching!

[simson]

Thanks everybody!

I've shot her yesterday. Can be I get tired, but seems she gained a few extra pounds. Have to train my muscles ...

Forgot to mention: the whole handle is a bit off to the right which makes a nearly centershot bow. You can see it in the pics a bit.
