New Osage bow and a Doe (warning explicit content)
« on: January 06, 2013, 08:00:52 pm »
Hey there fellers! I got this bow finished up over the holidays and decided I'd take it out hunting this morning on our last day of deer season here in Tennessee. I posted it in an earlier thread with a yew bow I built along side it. I've really come to love the way it shoots and decided to put a pair of small timber rattler skins I've been saving for just the right bow. Anyway, it all came together this morning when this doe presented me a slightly quartering 12yd shot. This 40# Osage bow didn't let me down as the arrow connected perfectly and the deer went down quickly. I've found I prefer the accuracy of lighter bows over the power of some of my heavier ones. With the right arrow combination 40# is more than enough for whitetails. I plan on keeping this one around and hunting with it for years to come! Here's a few pics I took with my phone since my computers still down...
Thanks fer lookin!!  :o  :o :o

Bow stats:
osage "the king wood"
62" NTN
40# @ 27"
1 3/8" w 3/8" tips
Timber rattler skins
Sheep horn tip overlays
Spar urathane finish

dang nice bow!   and looks like some really good eating there . I kinda understand the headhunters rack fixation
but hunting for meat...a doe is the best!
the skin looks in pretty good condition too...  you got it all!     what kind of points are on those arrows?

That's a nice, Osage, Will. And congratulations on that good eating doe. I batted "O" this year, glad I brought a shooter with me to Tenn. :D

 I'm leaning towards those lighter weight bows also. Except mine have to do double duty for hogs, too. I like to perforate pigs through both sides.

Thanks Steve! Yes it is :)

Richardzane- thanks! Actually that hide is from the big 9pt I killed earlier this November. I just got it racked this weekend. I plan on braintanning it in the coming weeks. And this year I've switched from hunting with my stone points a decided to try out the new 200gr Ace Super Express. They shure do get the job done ;)

Eddie, we all have years like that buddy... Maybe next year will be better for ya ;)
