Second bow in 3 years
« on: January 12, 2013, 05:59:50 pm »
Hello again.
Here is the other bow I made after my granddaughters.
This is my first recurve. It came in about 10lbs under what I wanted but it shots nice and feels heavier.
Next one will be better.
The Osage I use is the twisted, knotty, humpy cramp you ever seen but I use it. LOL
I had to do alot of straightening on this one.
Anyway here some pictures.
64" NtN   #37@27"
2 3/4" recurve tips
1 1/4"@ fades taper to 1/2" tips
beaver tail grip.

No, man can never have too many hobbies. Man always has too short a life.
