my trade bow from Paulsemp
« on: July 30, 2016, 01:56:25 am »
Finally got some pics from my new Pauly bow. Shot it first yesterday and I'm very happy with this stick, thanks brother!

The humps and bumps make some beautiful character




Multicolored horn for the tips







My very first trade bow


Handle is built up for ergonomic grip (don't know how he did this)








Nice curves on the side


And muscles on the back


Pauly induced reflex with the set back handle


Braced beauty


And a smooth draw to 28”




Thanks again Paul, I like that stick very much!


At least I wonna thank also wizard goat and mullet for making this trade happen!
You did a good job guys.

Thank you very much for the nice compliments. I must say I was quite intimidated when I drew your name considering some of the work you post. To be quite honest the setback in the handle was unintentional and took me awhile to get over it as it's something I normally try not to do. The handle is built up with cork saturated in super glue. I used Bondo to try to smooth out the handle to get rid of any imperfections you normally find when working with cork. Bondo is a material typically used for car body work. Once again thank you for the compliments and I hope that thing lasts you awhile

Came out looking great Paul, congrats Simon. I was fortunate to see, handle and shoot it myself a few times over the course of the past few months as Paul was working on it. Paul's bows always impress me and its cool to see one all the way over in Bavaria and in Simon's hands.
