This actually arrived yesterday, but it was 9:00ish when I got home and dark. Wanted the pictures to do it justice (they don't, but at least it's daylight). GregB, one of the Twin Oaks boys made this bow. He sent me a PM explaining it's construction and some of the details on this bow. It's HHB. The stave was cut off Pappy's farm. Greg did his homework, as I had mentioned sometime back that I would love to have an HHB bow. I do now. The most striking aspect of this bow is how refined it is. About 64 inches total, 62 inches nock to nock, 1. 5 inches wide in a pyramid tapering to little bitty tips. 47 lbs at 27 inches. It retains 2 inches of reflex when unstrung, which speaks not only to the quality of the wood, but to the care taken in it's construction. Tiller is near perfect in my book. Whisper quiet with a soft send off. Spits an arrow with authority! Tooled leather handle is very cool. I love the way it shoots! This is the first bow he has finished in some number of years. I too had a period of time in which I just didn't build any, so I know what it's like to be away from it for a while. I know how much I missed it, and how much appreciation I have every time I pick up my draw knife now. Thank you Greg, this is a treasure. I could not be more pleased. Yes, I will hunt with it this fall for sure to answer your question. Pics don't do it justice but here you go......
PS Got a stringer as well. Gotta figure out how to use it now
