HHB Reflex/Deflex design made by Hunterbob
« on: January 21, 2017, 08:21:03 pm »
I just wanted to post this for Hunterbob.
He sent me this awesome Hop Horn Beam bow as a gift in the Christmas trade, I love the bow, I have been shooting it for a few weeks now and plan to hunt with it next fall.
Here are the stats...
HHB that Bob harvested himself in the spring on his property in Ohio, he seasoned it for two years, took it down to bow dimensions and let it sit for another 5 months.
It's his first reflex/deflex design, it's 65" tip to tip. At 26" it pulls about 60lbs., not sure of the poundage, Bob tillered it by eye without a scale.
Tip over lays are walnut, tiger wood and blood wood.
The finish is,1 coat of boiled wild black berries, 1 coat of oak stain,1 coat of cherry stain, 1 coat of walnut stain and 7 coats of Tru Oil.
It has a red leather grip and a D97 string.
I would like to enter this bow for Hunterbob in the BOM contest.

Kevin

That's a handsome bow, Mr Bob!

Awesome looker. I'd like to see an unbraced pic of the whole bow.. It looks like it begins to taper down in width around midlimb, and the deflex isn't sudden at the handle but happens a bit past it?

Looks beautiful. The full draw speaks for itself  ;)
