Title: Osage horsebow
Post by: LEGIONNAIRE on November 09, 2011, 03:42:04 pm

A while back I posted this one unfinished in the arrows section. here it is all done up with a snake skin backing. 40lbs @ 20 inches 48 inches long. I took it to 23 once but I dont think it was such a good idea, it had 5 inches of reflex and now only about 3.5. I love shooting this little bow, its great. Now ima try shooting it out of a bucycle, lol, steel horse. The FD pic has the bow slightly canted so it looks a bit off. My GF painted the sides blue with red triangles and I sanded it a bit to make it look old.

That bow looks sweeter than candy braced, very nice bends. I dont know "boo" about horsebow tillering or building.

I like the look if braced, unbraced and full draw. The decor is nice also.
  I'm workingon a 53" sinew/osage bow now. Not necessarily a horse bow but a shorty non the less. I have a hard enough time just sitting on a horse much less shoot a bow from one.

Very nice Cesar, really like paint and all shots of it look sweet. btw if a steel horse is a motorcycle wouldn't a bicycle be a steel llamma?
