My Pat B wannabe Now with FD 68# @ 28"
« on: October 09, 2013, 01:45:29 am »
A few teaser pics till I get the full draw shot up. Osage with two heavy courses of sinew and one cord- like bead running down the crown of the back. Put some WDB skins over the sinew. This was a really old piece of Osage don't know the exact age but somewhere around 30-35 years. 1 1/8" wide for most of the limb tapering to 1/2" at the nock. A hair over 56" NTN. I want some guesses as to the draw length and weight just for fun until I post the FD shot. This was my "therapy" bow as I was working on it in and out of the hospital as my Father passed. He didn't shoot bows but always wanted a "snake" bow. I hope you like it Dad! This will be my fair weather bow this year. I was shooting it out of my stand and I could put three broadheads in a four inch circle at twenty yards. I feel sorry for the poor whitetail that walks in front of me >:D

I didn't know about your Dad, either, Jon. I am sorry for your loss. I wish you success this year hunting with that sweet bow. What a nice tribute to your Dad.

Nice Jon, does look like a Pat B bow. Can see from the braced photo that full draw will be spot on and probably stores some power too. That old osage spring back to life. My guess is 57# @ 27". Sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad, a little time in the woods  hunting will be some healing therapy for ya also. Good luck this season my friend.

Sorry about the loss of your father. I know how that feels.

Nice bow. Very nice. I'm guessing high 50s to low 60s on draw weight.

Rough times, condolences. Bow looks like a stunner and heavy I would guess.
