Weren't you poking fun at me for stabbing myself Lee :P

Not really poking but I got what was coming too me  ;D  Nothing a lot of super glue and instant skin couldn't fix though...after reading about your ordeal there was no way I was headed to the ER today.

I went into the shop tonight and decided to try something that I've never done for this bow. I added a handle overlay to the back side. It zebrawood to match the tip overlays. Hopefully it comes out alright.



The pics aren't the best, these are from my phone so. I'll definitly have better pictures when I'm ready to send it off. AS it sits now I'm at 52@26.

Nonsense John, I got your name and your bow is already done.  You did say you had a 2" draw length?


Sorry about that hinge in the upper limb... ;D

George

PS. Actually this little bow was made by a bowyer up in the Nebraska Traditional Archers club and I won it in a string shoot.

I've been busy on the trade bow as well. I thought I'd make a war bow this time! Shooting for 450 pounds at 38 inches >:D >:D String is 3/8 nylon. ;D ;D


 Of coarse I will have to use my feet and all of my 5'6" frame to hit full draw ::)   Just kidding of coarse. When I found this heavily deflexed stave I couldn't resist  >:D >:D >:D
