Iroquois/Mohawk design.
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:30:57 pm »
I've had this bow shooting since the spring but it just seemed to be a little short on power at 68" long and 45# give or take, being that it's hickory.  So, I piked it 5 inches.  Now I've got about 55# at 27" and the bow casts an arrow much better.  I really like the way the scalloped/vertebrae looking back looks at night with shadows. 

Pappy had graciously given me the stave and Eddie drove it down for me.  So thank you fellas. 

Figured it's time to post it up as it is well shot in, at this point!

 8) I don't recall seeing one that the scallops were offset. Looks wicked!
