51" bendy corn snake
« on: May 22, 2016, 10:10:17 pm »
I started this bow at Moontree and finished it up at the Classic.  It was a tiny sliver of osage that was in the corner of my shop for a few years.  I almost threw it in the burn pile a few times because it was so small but I would see the bow hiding inside of it and put it back in the corner.  It's 51" nock to nock and somewhere in the low 40's at my full draw.  The skin was a gift from Greg Sulfridge at Moontree this spring.  Greg is about the most generous person you will ever meet.  He wasn't sure what kind of snake it was.  I'm guessing some sort of a corn snake.  It's one of the coolest skins I have ever put on a bow.  The tip overlays are sheep horn.  It's been a while since I've made a short bendy bow like this.  I enjoy making and shooting them.
