finished osage bow

Thanks guys.  Yes I like the way it shoots.  Its a little loud.  Not sure if its the new string, the brace height or I just need to add some silencers?  I have some otter fur I was going to try on it.

Does it have a bit of vibration making it loud, or do you think it is just the string? Jim

I did this little video of shooting my bow.  (click on the picture and it opens the photobucket video). It's shooting pretty quiet now.  I added some otter string silencers.  I re checked the weight and it is pulling 61# @ 28 :.  I was still babying it a bit in the video and not really hitting full draw.  I've now shot it for at least 300 arrows and its still shooting well.   Sorry I didn't get the camera back a little farther to get the upper tip in the frame.  My friend was shooting a Ben Pearson Colt 41# @ 29"

Thanks Josh.  I'm really liking how it shoots.  Won the traditional shoot the other day (only 4 participants but still fun and I was the only person shooting a homemade bow).
