Title: Osage Recurve for TN Classic Raffle Table
Post by: RyanY on April 23, 2021, 09:54:02 am

I wanted to make a bow to donate to the raffle table this year at the classic so here it is! Osage recurve, 66" ntn, 48#@28". Buffalo horn tips and arrow passes. Made this one for both left and right handed shooters so no shelves. This was a very challenging stave to work with, especially with that deep concavity on the back on the upper limb. Nice amount of character to this one. Hope to see you at the TN Classic!

Beautiful bow. I've never had a piece of osage with that much of a concave. Very special.

Winner of the bow! Didn't catch her full name but they called out Brady and I was told she was one of the vendors. It was a mad dash for the pot luck line after the raffle.

That’s great out turned out so well, Ryan.  I flew back early yesterday so was up and out before six.  Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye, but enjoyed speaking with you more and look forward to next time!
