New osage bow
« on: March 28, 2011, 04:45:32 pm »
Hi all,
Here's the latest. 59" nock to nock........bend through the handle with the handle slightly narower than the limbs. Widest point is 1 3/8" Elk antler tips. Draws 64#@ 25.5 inches. Grip is black wool and I decided to try a floppy rest........the jury is still out on how much I like it.
Shoots real nice. Full draw pic is with a 28" arrow.

Looks like a shooter! I bet that thing shoots great with those super skinny tips.

Looks to be a sweet bow.....Good full draw.  I think the key to the floppy is to get it tuned or trimmed just rite.
Happy hunting to all!

AWESOME.  I really like it.  Love the elk antler overlay and the skinny tips.  Cool idea for the handle.  Nice bow.
