crazy character bow
« on: November 14, 2010, 09:58:48 pm »
hello all. i have recently cut this piece of vine maple down with a knife and beater stick while in training for SERE in the united states air force.. cut it down about seven months ago and finally got around to making it a month and a half ago... its pretty wild grain and holds an inch and a half of reflex after shooting. reflex is natural.. i know thw tiller looks off but as you all well know character bows can be wild looking... backed with diamond back rattle snake and 50lb @ 28 inches.. smooth draw and sweet shooter... Had a lot of fun with this boww.. was wondering if anyone else out there has a crazy character bow to show... and what u all think about this one. around 66 inches n/n

God bless you for your service....As far as character goes.....That is an understatement with this weapon!
I believe you have brought new meaning to tillering. Being a survivalist...I am in awe...
Fine job. This explains our great country and those that serve in a pic!....[/b]You don't get better than that!!!!!!!!!!!

 I've tillered and tamed some crazy character bows, because I love challenges, but I have to admit that I might have walked away from that one.  Congratulations,

Delightful, that's worthy of a sword and sorcery movie set, but better 'cos it actually shoots.
Gotta find me a wobbly stave (maybe if I look for wobblies I find some straight ones too)

I love it!  I've tried weird ones like that but they normally break.  Great job!  Thanks for your service.  Good luck on your next wild bow.   ;D
