"Ray"
« on: November 06, 2010, 11:25:03 am »
"Ray" is the second west coast style bow I did this summer/ fall. Flat sawn white hickory, 58" NTN, 53# at 26", backed with linen, jute handle wrap. After shooting, the upper limb has 2" of set, the lower limb 1". North Missouri was real wet all summer and subsequently I didn't have the M.C. as low as it should have been, otherwise I'm happy. Given the colors and the hard-hitting, durable nature of the wood, I decided to name it after Packers' Hall-of-famer Ray Nitschke.

Great job! You need to play some old John Facenda audio from NFL films when you shoot it! ;)

Cool Bow!  Tiller looks great on it and I love how you incorporated the Packers' colors into the design of your bow.  Bookmarked for Nov BOM fun.  :)
