I know yall are probably getting tired of this one ,but now it's done.It actually started in 02.
We cut a couple trees that just seemed special,they were dark wood and very dense,They
had fairly tight growth rings and some character,just like I like it.I have made 3 bows from it and
they all turned out to be good shooter and very durable.I roughed out the bow in 06 and
straightened and reflexed in early 08 so to say it is well seasoned is an understatement. I made
this on a little heaver than I usually do in anticipation of a hunt out west and wanted a little more weight.I have also always wanted a copperhead bow but it seemed like every time I would get one,before I would get a match I would give the one I had away to someone that already had one.Thanks to Greg and Sawfiler,they felt sorry for me and each gave me one.One was a little bigger but if you weren't told you probably wouldn't notice.The bow is 62 tip-tip 60 n-n.It is 1 1/2 in. to about mid limb then tapper to ,well small.
It is 55@26 and the tip overlays and made from deer
leg bone split and worked down.I like the way that turned out.Looks like Ivory,Shannon/Greg
talked me into thinning them down some and I am glad I did.Also with the natural hook in the wood and just a little filing it is almost center shot and will shoot almost any arrow I have. Hope yall like it.
O ya almost forgot I flipped the last 6 inches of the tips,as yall know I do that a lot.
