Elm Gull Wing
« on: June 18, 2012, 06:16:41 pm »
This is a little Elm bow I got done. 52"ntn 50#@26". Put a mild gull wing shape in it and covered it with some Rattle snake skins. Thanks for looking

Sweet! Looks light in the hand, too!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Thanks guys and yes I am a hunter Rich. I have studied your bows quite a bit over the last year or so and you get the credit for the stylish bend sir.

.  That bow has an awesome bend especially for such a short length, way to may those limbs work. I bet it is fun to shoot. I also like the skins and finish.  Really nice job Jon.

Forgot to mention the braced and unbraced side profile looks good also.

Everything about that profile is pleasing on the eye, unstrung, braced, full draw all lovely stuff.
