One of two
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:21:28 pm »
I finished this bow in September and hunted all year with it, never really connecting with it. I changed the tiller and reshaped the last 12" of limb last week, then resealed it all.  Its now 63" ntn. 57 @ 27. The skins are Canbrake and the tips are sheep horn. The grip is whitetail leather.  I built a static that is twins with this one from the same tree. Same length, same weight, same caul but with different clothes....its drying now and will be posted in a few days.

I used Paint to resize them, it seemed to work a little better. They still dont look that great.

No, thats a bag target wrapped in black shrink wrap because its been shot 100,000 times or so. The shrink wrap holds it tight and together so I can eek some more life out of it.

Im flattered Will. Pappys typical bow profile is my absolute favorite to drool over!


Thanks for the kind words all.
