The Bamboo Beast Sticker

[hammertime]

Hello everyone. This is a bow I made for a fellow taking his first steps into primitive archery. It's a bamboo backed hickory refllex/deflex, 60# @ 26" the length is 66". Osage tip overlays, osage/walnut handle. Antler tip inset for an arrow rest. A real sweet shooter, no shock and whisper quiet. Thanks for looking. Hammertime.

Looks good and looks like you dealt with the twist in the lower limb.   Nice bow. Your friend ought to be happy with it and you ought to be happy to get another sucker hooked!     Pat
