Osage Static Recurve Selfbow
« on: July 29, 2018, 02:01:05 pm »
Finally finished the Osage static I posted a peek of a few weeks ago.
Wanted to prove out this bow before posting. So I took it to MoJam and shot it in Badgers Broadhead Flight Shoot.
This little static shot a 10 gr/# arrow 195 yds with a slight wind in our face.   Badger said that was pretty good for a selfbow.
There were some great bowyers there shooting alot better than that.
The specs:
Osage Static Recurve
43# @ 28"
65" ntn
1 1/2" wide @ the fades
3/8" wide @ the nocks
Rat Snakes covering the back

Oh by the way..... this is my first attempt at a pistol type grip.  Didn't have enought depth in the stave so I just did a glue up to make up the depth.

Thanks for looking,
DBar

Bend of those limbs is soooo nice!
And, of course, gotta love the handle design and tips.
Another good one, fella.

That's a beautiful bow Bill. I remember when you first gave us a sneek peek at that one. Just curious if your bareshafting a arrow? Or maybe working on a flight arrow? Don't see any fletching on that shaft.🤔Let me know all your secrets when you get that flight shooting arrow building figured out. Hopefully see you at Elm Hall

Another amazing bow Bill.  That handle is very unique.  The tiller is perfect and the skins just top it all off.  I hope you enter that in the BOM contest.

Thanks, JonW and Stix
Knoll, those tips ended up pretty light with the underlay? filed down in the middle to the osage. I think the walnut strengthen the recurve so next time I might go thinner/less mass with the tips.

BJ, I use an unfletched arrow for draw lenght only...... that arrow is 29" with 1" increments marked backed to 24".
But, you mentioning flight shooting Badger really got me to thinking about it.  I'm all ready thinking about a bow and arrow design for next year at MoJam. 

Arvin, you had better be ready, I might be bitting at your heals next year. :) :)

Thanks Clint!
Thanks Bob but a pretty bow on the surface doesn't do it for me, it's got to be a shooter too.  Thanks for the kind words, the "artistic" part is easy for me, it's the preformance that I have to work on.

Thanks Paul, 

DC... That handle was a little weird....it reminds me of an old mans dunlap over your belt disease. :) :)   But it does feel pretty good in the hand. 

Thanks again, guys
