Osage Selfbow 85# @ 29"

Here's my favorite bow I've ever made. Osage selfbow, 67" long, 1.125" wide limbs, and 85lbs at 29". I had a pristine stave for this one, no knots, defects, or anything. Seasoned for 2.5 years before I worked on the stave. Shoots really, really smooth and makes the target shake when it gets hit! When I go out to shoot it, the only thing that gets me to go back inside is when my fingers hurt. I could shoot this thing all day if my fingers allowed it!

The tiller looks good but my fingers hurt too.

Sweet bow! Looks like you need a finger glove or a tab.

You should bring that bow to the flight shoots in the broadhead class. You have enough speed to get a record if you can get good arrow flight.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
