ok the bow is 60 inches long
its pulling 55#@ 25
it will shoot a hunting weight arrow 170fps with a b55 string,,
its hickory with thin layer of sinew,, and holds just a bit of reflex,,
I will put a handle on it and take more pics full draw etc,, the sinew is painted with acrylic and I will spray a protective layer of poly over that,, it will hunt in the rain,,

I am not givinig the weight of the arrow,, who ever guesses closest to  the weight can have the bow,,
I will pay shipping,,
I will post winner sat at 12 my time,,
the bow could easy be tillerd to longer draw,,with the sinew backing I would say 28 ,, it might go more,, you could pull it to 26 or 27 without tiller if the weight was ok for you,,

I think post the weight you guess here,, unless someone has a better idea,,

just to be clear you are guessing the weight of arrow that shot the 170 fps,,

475 grains.... cool idea bradsmith  ... nice lookin bow! what’s your thoughts on the sinew hickory combo? I’ve got some sinew all ready for a bow, but not bow to put it on!

[bradsmith2010]

I havent worked with hickory in a long time, ,it seems to work very nice with sinew,,
I would have put more reflex in if I had to do it over, but it shoots nice,, it worked a little different than osage,, I guess if I tillered it out further it would be more telling,, and Im in a dry climate,, so hickory likes that,, I read that Jay Massey liked hickory sinew,, overall Im pleased,, I think its a nice combo,,, Ill post some full draw tomorrow,, and handle,,  the stave looked so straight, but ended up having some nice character,, it was a little challenging for me to tiller, Im getting older and slower,, or more picky,, I dont know,,

Probly invincible too 

[bradsmith2010]

I think it would go to 30 inch draw, but Im got lazy,,and when it started shooting good I just stopped, figured it would suite someone, or could be tillered out,,further,,
