Post by: Primitive Kid on October 18, 2009, 03:29:10 pm: But all jokes aside I left the file marks, no paint, and the natural look of the bamboo, for two reasons the first one is I liked the weathered look 8). Now the second reason is kind of sappy but I think it works. How I see it is a good bow doesn’t need all the polish and sparkles to be a good bow I mean it draws nice and it’s only 45 pounds so it won’t overpower the person using it. The tiller is also good as you have noticed so it's a good bow underneath all the muck but I believe that is what I am trying to say.

Post by: mullet on October 18, 2009, 09:29:04 pm: Great bow! especially for a first one, or second,third..
Title: Re: it took me a long time but here it is Osage Rose
Post by: kayakfisher on October 18, 2009, 09:51:28 pm: yes it is his first ,the other one, the oak and bamboo exploded like a fircracker on the tillering tree. He was really upset over that . On this one every time he pulled the tillering string he made a face waiting to hear ka pow !
Im proud of him ,the little shit is going to wind up bagging a deer with it ,he has had two shots in the past weekends a doe and a buck missed within inches. Im still trying to find one to shoot at ::)
