Buckshot's first bow, it's a monster
« on: July 12, 2012, 08:46:11 pm »
Had to share this with all of ya. A while back I gave some wood bows to a neighbor, a 14 yrs old guy that's a natural. Well yesterday he went and did a glueup. Black ash belly and white ash backing.

He made the bow 58" ntn, 65# @ 28" (he draws 27" so he's drawin about 62#). He likes to do his tillering with a scraper only, and here is what he came up with. I think it's just terrific and told him so. I didn't get too many pics cause he was so excited he flat wouldn't stand too still. 8)

Enjoy the pics

Rich, I'd say you rubbed off on him pretty good. That sure looks like one of your bends. Sweet!! 8)
