Hazelnut Propeller bow
« on: July 15, 2008, 08:43:57 pm »
i was playing around with this cool little stave and made a bow for my girlfriend, whether she will shoot it or not is a whole 'nother story. ;D 
    but anyway it has lots of prop twist and a couple cool knots on the bottom limb. it tillered well and didnt fret at all even though it was a sapling. it didnt take hardly any set at all either.
    its about 62 inches  and  30# @ 27"    she doesnt draw that far but incase she doesnt shoot it, i can sell it of to someone who will.  the 30# is still a bit heavy for her, she weights about 100# soaking wet with a pocket full of rocks so its not wonder she cant muscle it back.  thanks for looking- Ryan

Very nice job on that one. I've been thinking about making a bow from a sapling... I may just try it after seeing this one. Tiller looks good also. Hope she enjoys it.
