Title: Osage hunting bow for me.... " Video's added "
Post by: coaster500 on March 27, 2012, 03:04:55 pm
This is my third build with osage and I decided I needed to keep one for myself so I build a hunter for me. The stave came from okie64/Jamie in a trade we made and one of the staves he had so kindly chased a ring (Thank you Jamie) so it was the first of the batch to get used.

Before I started trying to build bows I shot 60 to 62" bows of R/D design so I tried to impart a tiny bit of that into this bow by sweeping the tips just a bit. The bow is 62"s nock to nock and 49.9999999@27 so we'll call it 50#s...  Braided Hemp grip wrap (Really gives me a positive feel), Bone rest and a Beaver Tail strike plate and rest cover. I built this bow to hunt.

You didnt waste any time gettin that one done Kip. You are crankin out some really nice bows lately. The bow looks great and that knot turned out really cool. Those purpleheart tips are sweet too! Nothin wrong with buildin one for yourself every now and again. :)
