Title: Christmas present bow
Post by: mspink on December 01, 2010, 10:15:39 pm

hello. I made this bow for a friend down in Arkansas. Its a red oak board that i cut down to one ring and backed with deer rawhide after heat treating 2" of reflex into. It keeps an inch after a day of shooting and rests back to near 2". Came out to 45 lbs @ 26" Bit over 50 at 28". Good shooter. My friend is gonna use this one for this hunting season.. Is a little less than 1 1/2 " in handle to fades tapering to small tips. Enjoy..
