Title: Osage snaky 70# @ 27"
Post by: adams89 on February 16, 2015, 05:43:04 am: This is an old bow of mine I reworked and heat treated and I have to say the work payed of,
the bow has a drawweight of 70 pounds, shoots very nice and very controllable. It has zero set and a lot of character with one bigger knot.
the handle is made out of hempcordage, the arrowrest and tips are made out of camelbone.
I'm happy that I've reworked it.

Specs are:
Osage orange
heat treated
65 inches long ( top limb 1.5 inches longer, makes the ow balance an inch under the arrowrest)
70 pounds at 27 inches.

thanks for looking hope you like it. ;)

Johannes

Nice snakey osage! Well done. Why 70#? That's big weight.
70 # is a regular weight for me.
I like it of course it gets a little heavy when on a tournament after 30 Targets, but I love the trajectory of a heavy bow and the feel of the '' I could hunt anything with this one'' ;D
maybe it's just my crazyness...

Post by: adams89 on February 17, 2015, 03:53:24 am: Thank you everyone, I'm happy you like my bow, until now every bow I reworked was way better after that . think it's just experience, that lets you to finish a nice piece of bow some more.
