ash backed oak
« on: November 02, 2010, 05:20:50 pm »
i made this for my nephew that just turned thirteen he has been using fiberglass but i changed that  ;D it is 60" ntn low 40 # at 28" even though it says 26" "just figured out that you dont tiller to the inside of the handle" . it is red oak backed w/white ash w/ mullberry tip overlays. this is a great combination and shoots suprisingly fast.

love the low braced profile, a pure classic. The full draw is equally impressive.
