I thought I was going to be a one bow man until I got to seeing some of Bob(Bobcat) Barnes' bows. I was lucky enough top be able to talk him outta this one . A sweet 56"er and 50#@28. Sinew backed osage and mocassin skins. Flip tipped. Beautiful small tips. Just gorgeous colored osage. Nice skinny handle that feels great in your hand. Just top notch craftsmanship. Now I am going to be a 2 bow man. Thanks Bob. Goin out tomorrow to fling a couple of arrows. Bob says he killed a deer with it before he even had it finished. I could definitely use the mojo. Thanks again Bob for parting with this beauty!
I went out and shot this masterpiece tonight. Holy cow! Smooth drawing, fast and drove the arrows into the target. I felt no hand shock and the bow was incredibly quiet. Absolutely beautiful. Just had to show it off!

I have known Bob now for several years and got the opportunity to see some of his bows at Mojam. He does beautiful work and you won't find a better person to deal with. He will treat you right. Thanks for sharing. Dean
