Title: Bow, arrows, and a quiver for my daughter
Post by: osage outlaw on May 30, 2014, 10:51:02 pm
My daughter outgrew the last bow I made for her so it was time for a new one.  Its Osage, 60" long and 30 lbs @ 24".  She doesn't draw it 24" yet but I made it with some room for her to grow.  Her school colors are orange and blue so I tried to work that into it as much as possible.  She helped out a little with it along the way.  I let her pick out everything on it.  She wanted a black rat snake skin and the leather she picked out for the handle was paper thin.  I rolled all of the edges just so I could stitch it.  I built up a leather shelf but after a few shots we decided that wasn't going to work.  I ripped it off and put a floppy rest on it.  It made a big improvement in her shooting.  The arrows are cane/bamboo with kool-aid dyed feathers.  The quiver is a bear leg that Pearly traded me last year.  She picked that out as well.  She likes to shoot bows quite a bit.  We are planning on going to the Cloverdale shoot in a couple of weeks.

Great looking stuff. I like that snakeskin.
Also, nice thick rings on that osage stump. Did the rest of that tree make a decent bow?

Bow, arrows and quiver all top notch Clint, no wonder she's all smiles. Enjoy your shooting together.

Thanks Tracy.  We are making plans to be there Saturday.  See you there.

Thanks Dry Creek, and PatB

Thanks Bogaman.  I think I traded the rest of that osage tree away last year.  It should have made some good bows.

Thanks Greg and Adam.

Great job Clint.  The bow the arrows the quiver all are exceptional.  I'm sure she is stoked.  Looks like it fits her well.  I can't wait to shoot with my boy.  Enjoy your shooting partners company,  I know you will.  Great job :)

Thanks guys  :)    She was talking about school being out soon and said she wants to shoot bows with me every day during the summer. 

Cody, those are a different set of arrows from the ones I had at Marshall.  They are very similar.

Tracy, Ozzy, and Paoliguy,   When are you guys going to be at Cloverdale?  We are going up for the day on Saturday.

My hubby (wildkatt) called me in from doing horse stuff just so I could see this. Very nice !! Love the school colors. Maybe after he makes me the speed quiver for horse archery, I can remind him of this one.  ;)

Beautiful set. Something she can keep close to her heart for sure. I made up some Kool-Aid fletched bamboo sticks too only red. Just amazing how well that stuff works as a dye huh?
