elm youth or ladies bow
« on: October 12, 2009, 09:58:52 pm »
 I finished this bow up today and i am actually really pleased with it.  it was just a tiny sapling about 1 1/4" wide so i figured i could probably make a nice little youth or ladies bow, and i was correct. it is 58" tip to tip and 35# @ 28"  and 15# @ 20".  everything went really good with it, nice even tips, very smooth limbs and a deer antler rest and a cherry colored leather grip.  just plain and simple but i really like the feel of this bow, really light since its so thin. even though its thin it really held its shape well. and it really zips and arrow pretty fast, i was very much surprised in its spunky-ness. sad part is my wife wont shoot a bow at all and i dont have any kids.  Im sure it will find a home sometime.   thanks for look at it- Ryan

Thats a really nice bow. Tiller looks great. What's the brace height? Looks a little high but everything else looks good.
