Title: Latest Osage Bow
Post by: missilemaster on July 13, 2012, 05:48:47 pm: Well folks, I'm back in the game again!
Due to a move and work being so busy lately, I have had little time to make shavings. Now that I have my workshop set up in the basement, I should be in business. Here is my latest: Osage, around 43# @ 28". 1 1/5" at the fades tapering to 7/16" tips. The handle is angled so it is center shot without cutting into the bow. Surprised at how zippy it is for its weight, sending my 500 gr. arrows down range in a hurry. She has about 1/4" reflex when just unstrung then pops up to 1" at rest. Purpleheart overlays with 10 coats of oil. Thanks for looking,

Cody

Seriously though, nice tiller, interesting handle work. I like it.

Post by: rps3 on July 13, 2012, 11:49:11 pm: Great looking bow, incorperating the bend in the handle to make the bow center shot is my favorite part.
