Primitive Archer

Here's a pic of one of my backed Osage bows.

Arvin, you are about right on your assessment of my attitude and resources. :-)

I have another stave from the same log that has less dramatic irregularities.  I do have some Osage, but it is not very good. Lately, I have been making Osage limbs backed with hickory, elm or tree of heaven. They are quick to make and look and shoot great. I'll have some of those at the Classic too.

Thanks guys.

Congrats, Brian!

those knives probably weren't intended to strike flint for sparks..
fire striker knives are a risky business cause everything needs to be very hard and with that hardness also come brittleness
