Title: Osage turkey hunter
Post by: Bryce on November 29, 2015, 10:45:46 pm
Bow was made for a gentleman in Kansas who loves to knock down turkeys.
66"ntn 65#@28" dyed deer leather with blue glass beads and dentalium shells.
Sorry to disappoint but there is no full draw picture.
It was really nice to dig into some Osage. the billets I got from Carson a few years ago at the Moses lake rock shoot.
Anyways, thanks take'n a peek 😬

Nice smooth curves 8). That bow deserves a deer or two as well. Hopefully he likes shooting it enough to hunt both.

I'm actually about to start an osage stave(first one) and was looking to hit that draw weight. Would you mind providing the limb width and thickness? It might help to put me in the ball park. Thanks.

Now that's classy!  But then, I would expect no less from you.  What part of KS is that going to?  Josh

You guys are always too nice😄 I hope he gets a few large game animals with it, the draw weight is ridiculous, but that's what he asked for. He runs his families ranch/farm and he must hunts turkeys bc they are a pest.

I'm not sure I don't have the bow anymore. 1.5" wide and the tips are 3/8" wide.

I tried to get one for days but I've been sick for what feels like forever and no ones been around to take it. And it was time to ship:/
