That is a gorgeous setup.  Great work.

I want to use horn nocks on my next osage bow.  I know most folks on here probably are experienced with how to install them--but could you elaborate a little on how you did that?  I've got a couple cow horns on hand, but until I saw your bow I wasn't sure if they would suffice or if I would need to buy a block of horn from a bowyer supplier.

thanks, and again--great work.

BBS, when it comes to horn nocks, all you really need to do is shape the horn to your desired shape, make sure you have a very tight fit (no gaps or light between the two surfaces) and glue the horn to the bow with a good quality glue.  I use a good 2 part epoxy or unibond 800, but some people prefer CA glue or even TB3.

I'm sure there is a how to on here somewhere, do a little searching

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron... great job (as always)... looks like you have gone all out (as always) and put as much time into your arrows as your bow.  The quiver is a nice touch too, but please be careful carrying an animal fur quiver into the woods for obvious reasons... Looking forward to seeing this bow (and you) at MoJam.

Nice bow, got my BOM vote... even though it has that unnecessary arrow shelf.

Awesome set!  That snaky bow looks great but the quiver and arrows are the real head turners!  I really like the downy puffs at the rear of the fletchings.  An added silencer I'll bet.  I hope you stick a critter with those stone points!

Thanks guys. 

RLimerick, I took the idea of the primitive arrow tracers from Bill (Danzn Bar), he has a build along under one of Osage Outlaws post at the top of the arrow page.

Thanks Bob, can't wait for Mojam already.

Aaron - This is quite an awesome setup!  I really hope you get to stain those shafts with some fresh venison blood pigmentation.  :)

I love this bow.  8) 8)
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Amazing craftsmanship. Absolutely stunning set of tackle you've got there Aaron.

Weehe, just found that gorgous set. Really great work Aaron.
Love the arrows as well as the bow and quiver. Arrow making is not my favorite job, looking at yours I get thrilled.
Good luck hunting!
