Hickory Backed Osage Recurve, 60#@26
« on: June 27, 2016, 11:06:10 am »
Hey All, 
Just finished up this one.  Hickory backed Osage.  60#@26, 60" ntn.  1 3/4" wide.  Turkey feather covered arrow rest from one of my birds this spring.  Hoping this will be my hunting bow this fall once I get used to the weight and get some arrows for it. 

--Also, I'm trying to raise money for a 600km bike rally I'm doing at the end of July, so I'm going to raffle off a bow of this style.  Send me a pm if you or somebody you know would interested and I'll let you know the details.

Very nice indeed. That tiller is spot on perfect.

That came out gorgeous.  I do have a question on the tiller though....it seems to me like the bottom limb
 is a little behind the top limb...or is that just an optical illusion.


That rest has gotta be one of the most beautiful peices of wood ive ever seen!!!

Them are some pretty bends, especially the full draw
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Thanks everyone!  I'm pretty stoked about getting a set of arrows made up.  I really wish arrows were universal.
