My third bow.

This bow is made from junniper. Stave is 58" long. 66#@28". Covered with sinew and backed with ostrich rawhide left from my second bow. Seems to be much faster than my first bow which shoot 26 gramm arrow ower distance 240  meters. No handle cover and proper string jet.

Very, very nice! I love the way it bends when drawn, looks almost like a composite.  :-*

congratulations on this one!

Maitus, you don't post often, but every bow you post impresses me deeply.  I love the curves of this new bow, sir.  She's a real beauty, and I am sure she is a great shooter! 

Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
