Title: Couple of new bows
Post by: Grunt on February 04, 2010, 01:15:17 pm
Here are a couple of my latest. They are really different critters. The re/de is BBI with a maple power lam. This laminated bow is 66" tip to tip, 1 1/4 at the fades and 5/8 at the tips.It pulls a honest 60# at 28". Learned to give the next bow more de as getting the high string on this beast took some doing. The linen backed red oak is spliced at the handle with a W splice. This one is 1 3/4 at 2" above the fades tapering to 1/2 at the tips. It is long at 70" tip to tip and pulls 47# at 28" but I an shooting it in so I expect it will drop a bit. The linen oak follows the string about 1" and shoots sweetly. They both shoot nice but this 63 year old is only pulling the re/de about 26"

Way to go Grunt, those look like fine bows. Looks like you have other nice ones hanging in the background.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll post some full draw photos soon as I get someone up here to take them. For some strange reason I seem to be making things in two's right now.
