Finished this bow just today. Wasn't real happy with the one I had made right before this one so gave it another try. Other one developed a fret and this one is so far so good!!
Wanted it for turkey and some 3-d. It's osage and rawhide backed. Backed only because I wanted to try rawhide. 44# @ 26" and 53" ntn. Nice to shoot, no hand shock to speak of and shoots where I'm looking. Maybe not real fast but hope it works good for the turkeys!!

First try at this kind of shelf and first one I've made and not cut a shelf. My wife did did artwork on back which was copied from an original bow we had taken a picture of at an older gentlemens house we were working at.
Got to go shoot it some more
