a new one
« on: December 22, 2010, 10:27:51 pm »
well i have been working on this bow off and on  during bow season this year
now bow season is almost finished and so is this bow
its a nice little hickory bow
63" ntn,1.75" wide at the fades up to the last twelve inches then tapers to .25" at the string grooves
it pulls 54# @ 27"
it still needs to be shot in and have the tips finished up and some of my fav finish applied,tung oil
this might be next seasons spring turkey bow or i might find a better home for it(undecided as of yet)
any hoo hers a couple of pics for ya'll to look at
thanks fer peeking  ;D







                                                                                          peace,

Now that's a good, durable hunting bow. All it needs is a bit of turkey blood on it to really set it off!  8)
