Will H wins December Self BOM contest!!! 

Congratulations to "Will H" from Joelton, TN for winning December Self BOM Contest!

Will H’s Miss November

Here's what Will had to say about Miss November:  I've had this bow finished for a few weeks now, shot it and hunted with it ALOT before I got her all slicked up. I finally got around to taking a few pictures today while hunting and a few after when I made it down to the cabin. This is the first bow Ive had a chance to make at the Twin Oaks bow shop. Working with the advice from Pappy and a few others around shop, I have to say this is one of the best bows Ive made yet! Thanks again you guys! 


She turned out 66"tt, 58#@27", 1 1/2" at the fades tapering to 3/8" tips. 1 1/2" reflex after standing with pappy style "flipped" tips. I used brain tanned buckskin I made from my first stone point killed buck for the handle and went with an 8 strand D97 string for extra performance. I used elk leg sinew to trim out the skins just for looks and the tips are whitetail antler. As for the finish. I decided to try helmsman spar urathane in high gloss. I did 7 coats sanding with 600grit between coats to get the skins glassy smooth then finished with a coat of satin in the spray can.


The wood was a gift/trade from Pappy and Shannon, the beautifully matched  copperhead skins I received from Shannon as well     I cant thank you guys enough for all your help and overwhelming generosity!!! Yall are really something.         


Anyway, here's "Miss November" my new sweetheart    Thanks for lookin 



Here are some of the comments from forum members:
