Bow, arrows, and a quiver for my daughter
« on: May 30, 2014, 10:51:02 pm »
My daughter outgrew the last bow I made for her so it was time for a new one.  Its Osage, 60" long and 30 lbs @ 24".  She doesn't draw it 24" yet but I made it with some room for her to grow.  Her school colors are orange and blue so I tried to work that into it as much as possible.  She helped out a little with it along the way.  I let her pick out everything on it.  She wanted a black rat snake skin and the leather she picked out for the handle was paper thin.  I rolled all of the edges just so I could stitch it.  I built up a leather shelf but after a few shots we decided that wasn't going to work.  I ripped it off and put a floppy rest on it.  It made a big improvement in her shooting.  The arrows are cane/bamboo with kool-aid dyed feathers.  The quiver is a bear leg that Pearly traded me last year.  She picked that out as well.  She likes to shoot bows quite a bit.  We are planning on going to the Cloverdale shoot in a couple of weeks.

That is awesome Clint! Looks like she is thrilled with your labor of love! Did she outgrow or outrun her last bow >:D Very nice gesture and work. Hope to see you guys at Cloverdale!

Great looking stuff. I like that snakeskin.
Also, nice thick rings on that osage stump. Did the rest of that tree make a decent bow?

Bow, arrows and quiver all top notch Clint, no wonder she's all smiles. Enjoy your shooting together.

Thanks Tracy.  We are making plans to be there Saturday.  See you there.

Thanks Dry Creek, and PatB

Thanks Bogaman.  I think I traded the rest of that osage tree away last year.  It should have made some good bows.

Thanks Greg and Adam.
