Osage longbow build w/ pics
« on: February 08, 2025, 08:09:48 pm »
Haven't posted one in a long time. Wanted to see if I could still post some pictures. Couple months back pulled out a piece from Mr Osage outlaw. Thanks as always buddy. Couple good kinks in it with some deep wind shakes to work around

Got a ring chased and a bunch of heat correction. 64 NTN. Had to build up the handle with some extra Osage

Clear coat deft rattlecan finish. Right about 50 at 27 ish. Turning out to be a good shooter. Have about 500 arrows though it so it's still got a lot more to prove. Minimal hand shock for a straight-limb longbow. Has about 2" of set from off the form. Thanks for looking
