Osage Longbow with Flipped tips
« on: May 31, 2019, 05:20:45 am »
Finally got this one done, a lot of firsts for me here.  Tiller was challenging for me even though it doesn't look it in photos it has +1/8' tiller and shoots great.  This is only my third bow so please by all means fill free to give me advice.  Kenny Cartright helped me flip the tips at the Tennessee Classic and gave me a lot of great advice. Bow is 51# @ 27''

Looks really nice.  Where's the one where it is yanked back?

It sure is pretty. I like what you did with the skins. It's really impossible to say for sure without a unbraced, and full draw profile. I agree it looks a bit off in the braced picture but it might be how it needs to be. Nice looking bow for number three.

Very nice bow. I agree with the others that the right limb looks a bit stiff but I'd like to see full draw before I make that conclusion.
Nicely done, especially for it being your third. Lots of good bow building learning at the Classic.

Very nice for your 3rd bow.  Good job  :OK
The bottom limb does look weaker in the braced photo.
