Yellow Jacket
« on: January 22, 2012, 12:34:45 am »
I know I"m new to the PA community so let me say I should have joined years ago. Flint knapping lead me to serch out more info on the topic and I found a PA mag in a sporting goods store one day and joined the next. I've been hooked ever since! Enough about me here's my latest bow. It got it's name because every time I would warm the shop up to work on it yellow jackets would buzz my head >:( Osage, 43#@24", 67" overall, shoots great! Feel the sting ;D

Took me awhile to figure out I needed to crop the photos to get them to fit. Some I wanted to post I couldn't :-[

Very nice curve you have on that tiller. Well done.

Very nice job on your bow. The tiller looks spot on. Are you drawing 24" in the full draw pic?  Looks longer.

Those fluffy white bits remind me of them cute young gals that dress up as Santa's Little Helpers.  What can I say, I'm a dirty old man in training.

Nice work on this piece of yaller wood.  Mighty nice looking tiller, gotta be one of those all day shooters from the looks of it!
