Title: New Osage (first post of a bow)
Post by: woodsrunner on February 05, 2011, 02:06:35 pm
I built this bow a couple of weeks ago.  Since I have never posted a bow of mine before I thought why not start now. Its Osage 62" TTT 60.5 NTN pulls 45@28"  Was a little lighter then I was shooting for but it shoots so nice I cant be upset.

I love that design for lighter Osage bows you will be amazed what that beauty will shoot through when you get on a hunt.  You really pulled it off nicely .

Very nice.  I just love the lines of that bow.  When I think of osage longbows, that's the image I get.  Simple, lovely, deadly.
