This is one of our club members and an old friend of mine,he has been shooting selfbows for a good while but finely decided to make himself one.He had a lot of advice but done all the work himself.
Turned out pretty nice for his first adult bow.He shoots it very good and is planing on hunting with it in a couple of week.Hope you enjoy.By the way his name is Doug.

Hey, Pappy, the 'other Doug' here. Were the drawings done on the wood itself, or on a layer of sealer? And what was it drawn with?

Thanks,
Prof

That is a really neat bow. What are the spec's?

Forgot that Gordon,47@26 62 n-n 4 inch handle,1 1/4 fads ,the limbs are 1 1/2 to mid limb then tapered to the tips. It was drawn on and then sealed over,I will have to ask
what he put it on with ,but I think colored art pencils ,like sharpies.

Looks like he's getting every ounce in the full draw picture. Nice job on that bow.
