Gentleman's bow with matched arrows.Hickory backed oak. 35#@28" tillered out to 30". 61" ntn. Carved Ebony "Acanthus leaf and scroll" nock overlays, Ivory arrow strike.Made in trade for a bearskin rug that should make some very nice quivers and trim for bow cases.

Thanks guys .  I'm sure you may have guessed it already .I am a  Cabinetmaker/ Furnituremaker by trade .I've been trying to post some pics for a while here but the format of all my pics wouldn't allow it. I'll have to remember that when taking pictures of future bows. And as far as shooting the Butler, I wasn't aware of a season on that. Find sport where you can and make sport where there isn't any.

Hoping to get the Gentleman out shooting again real soon. Brought him out to try it out before I finished it up . First time he's ever shot a bow. He did quite well and is very excited about it, so I have to make sure the spark doesn't die. The pics I took before were all to high res.to post here so I'll try for some more.Nothing remarkable on the tiller ( board bow)

I have a bunch of pics  of  him shooting but the bow is canted and doesn't show the tiller and the file size is too large to post here. I was hoping to get him out this weekend but the weather is supposed to be nasty. I'll post as soon as I can.

By the way, you can easily size down pics with the "paint" application, that is on all windows computers. there is a mac equivalet, I'm sure.

Finally some full draw pics. Still sightly canted but the best I could get. He's shooting three fingers under now with much success. Made up some flu-flus to complement the set and had a little fun on the weekend with some flying targets.
