Osage molle 41# @ 28" - full draw page 2
« on: January 20, 2017, 01:40:17 pm »
I just finished up an osage molle for a buddy. This is the bow that gave me the trouble with its slow response time after scraping. It came out a bit underweight of the 50# I was wanting but is a pretty decent shooter that's very smooth and shock free. I also had this one have the lower limb pull into a bit of reflex as I removed wood cutting the rough shape, though this pulled out back to its original straightness after tillering. It took about 1/2-3/4" of set with an additional 1/2" of temporary set after shooting. Over all I'm very happy with this bow.

It came out 41# at 28" with asymmetrical limbs, bottom limb is 28" nock to fade and the upper is 29". I went for a 60/40 ratio of working limb to lever with a pyramid profile with some pin knot clusters making me buldge out a bit from a true pyramid. The overlays are blood wood and the skin is artificial copperhead. That's my first time working with the artificial snake skin and I like working with it better than the real thing. The finish is about 8 coats of tru oil that was buffed with steel wool then a leather pad to get some sheen back.

Sorry about the lack of full draw picture, I'll get it up once I get someone to snap some pictures for me.

Thanks for looking,
Kyle

Those narrow wiggly levers are impressive. Congrats!

Very cool molle, those squirrly levers are awesome. This coming from an owner of one of your molle's.
