20 or so years ago I planted a couple of pecan trees. One was shading the back deck so the wife asked me to cut it. I put away a few staves, and figured pecan was a hickory so it ought to make a bow. I made the wife one last year. This year I wanted to make a new bow to hunt with..
It took some set, but feels good and puts an arrow where I look in my effective range..
It's 66 inches ntn, 47# @28.
I made a moose hide strike plate and shelf pad, shaved the hair off with a scalpel leaving a stiff bristly launcher.. The hide is scraps from a taxidermist.
Tip overlay is cow horn.
As they say on Forged in Fire... "It will Kill!"
