Title: Just in time for classic.
Post by: wildman on April 27, 2013, 06:19:38 pm
I have been working on this off and on for a few weeks. I was hoping to get it done in time to take it to the classic. I traded for the stave at the classic 3 yrs ago. Its hickory 57'' 42# @28" antler nocks and shelf with a braintan handle. Pretty simple lil bow nice shooter. Taking almost no set so far.

I just love them short bows, and that bend is just perfect. Ought to get them arrows down range in a hurry.

Yes sir it's working in the handle. At 57" I should have got her bending in the middle a tad more, but I liked the first few bullets out of her.
