Osage bow done
« on: September 30, 2017, 04:16:46 pm »
Just finished this osage bow. 60" 44#@25".  Really rushed this one for deer hunt coming up, so I named it Rush Job.
A little lighter then I wanted but should be good for blacktail. it does shoot nice. Only put 100 arrows through it before I camo'd and stained.

Real nice!  Do you just clamp your tiller tree to the garage door as needed?  Like the staining and pattern.  Just my size >:D (-S :NN :-D!  Good luck hunting!

Beautiful tiller to my eyes. Congrats and good luck!

Nice reflex in that bow.  Braced and full draw look good.  The paint job is interesting. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
