Hickory selfbow for my little girl
« on: March 15, 2009, 06:03:58 pm »
This is my first post on PA I have posted on other archery sites and may post some of my past bows later.  This one is an eastern woodlands style bow 47in ntn 25@23in from a hickory stave I cut. My wife helped on this build it was her first and now she is hooked

Your little girl looks proud of that bow and for good reason - it turned out really well.

Good looking bow, looks like you made someone happy. :) Those little bows are deceptive-I made my son one just about like that when he was smaller, and it shot great for the poundage.
