I built this bow from a hackberry stave i got from Stixnstones, it was a nice stave with very few problems as in, it was pretty dang straight😉 I built this for a friend of ours that does a lot of black powder rendezvous, last year she wanted some help shooting and the osage bow she had was a pos, poor tiller no string alignment, an art sinew string that is prolly still stretching. Anyway i will surprise her with this one , 65" ttt and 42#@28" but she will only pull maybe 25-26". I thought the paint job fit in nicely with the rendezvous scene, kind of a west coast look, really smooth to shoot and hits with a good thump for a lower weight bow,hope ya like her, bub
