Title: new member with a bow
Post by: Zion on August 18, 2012, 11:48:39 pm

Hi, i've been making bows for like 6 months now but haven't posted anything on here. This is a serviceberry bow i finished a few weeks ago, and is my favorite so far. About 65#@somewhere around 25 inches....i haven't realy measured my draw. It is 51" ttt.
 Also, in the FD pic i wasn't done drawing, when im shooting my draw is probably about 1 or 2" farther than that.

Looks good Zion. A 51" bow at 65# is a tough one for one of your first bows made, you pulled it off without it breaking and that isn't
easy to do man, congrats! Welcome and I look forward to seeing more of your bows.

Good job.  Those little shorties can be tough to finish.

welcome to pa, your tiller looks pretty good on that bow ,  you did a good job 25'' draw on a 51'' bow is not to easy to do especially unbacked.

thanks for the replies guys, i was actually surprised when i first weighed this bow because it's really smooth to draw... it feels alot more like 55# than 65#. I love shorties for some reason  ;D
