« on: September 15, 2011, 01:22:07 am »
hey everyone, just finished my first bow. its just a red oak pyramid board bow. the bow its awaiting snake skins for the limbs, so it is not stained or sealed yet, but it still shoots! the bow is 63" ntn 45# @ 27". everyone always posts picture so i did some videos this time instead  ;D sorry its at night but you can still see hopefully!
