« on: June 27, 2015, 11:40:22 pm »
I Found a nice straight grained red oak 1x3 in my shop that I had bought last year and forgot I had. So I decided id make a pyramid bow out of it I started on it yesterday. I will post some pics of the progress.

I finished tillering this afternoon that hinge gave me the blues for a while but I finally got it straightened out. The bow is pulling 46 lbs at 28". I put about 50 arrows through it and it shoots pretty good.i will get some full draw pics on here as soon as I can get the wife to take em.
