« on: January 10, 2010, 08:03:03 pm »
Hello everyone it;s been about a year since I posted a bow but I've finally had one turn out ok.It,s a elm self bow 59"ntn,52# @ 26" draw.Bull snake I got on a trade and antler tip overlay.A real nice shooting bow with a smooth draw and no shock.Nothing fancy compared to some of the bows I see on this site but I really liked how it turned out.thanks for looking .Hammertime-Jeffrey  Kolste

Hammertime,

Nice bow. I sure like them Idaho desert bull snakes. ;D Looks awsome, I like how you stained the elm. Goes great with the snakes.
