Osage/Sinew Gullwing bow
« on: July 09, 2019, 01:19:44 pm »
My latest sinew backed Osage short bow. 44” OAL. 38# @ 23.5”.  Profile shaped with dry heat.  A joy to shoot, and for such a light draw weight i'm impressed with its ability to cast a 520gr arrow at over 140fps.  I read something about getting the handle to flatten out at full draw on Gullwing bows.  I think i achieved that pretty well here.  I've been at this bow for the better part of a year.  Another one with many lessons learned. )P(

Your bow gives a whole new meaning to Primitive Archer.  Imagination unleashed.
