Shannon, that's a sweet bow...is it still going to your brother? ;)  Hope I get to shoot it sometime, I'm sure it'll spit um!

Thanks everybody, I'm glad ya'll like it.
  Greg, my brothers replacement bow was the one he was shooting at the Classic, the one without skins. He ain't getting this one back.
 I had this one down there and I showed it to you. That was before I fixed it up, so you may not remember it.
 As soon as it cools down a little and Pappys OK with it, I'd like to come down for a weekend of shooting or hunting.  Saw Filer

Fantastic bow Shannon, but you really need to make the tips smaller  ;) :D

Nice save on that one Mr. Shannon  ;). You seem to have a knack for pulling those rabbits out, or is it just sheer determination and a lot of sweat ;D? That's one fine lookin weapon sir!!

I know this has come up in the past, but for BOM, is a sinew backed bow a backed bow, or a self bow?

A Sinew backed selfbow is still a selfbow as far as I'm concerned, Its still made of one piece of wood.
 Laminated is two or more pieces of wood or grass (bamboo) glued together. Why do you ask?
Its November, I'm gone hunt'in.......
Osage is still better.....
