Tenn/Fl Hybrid
« on: December 18, 2011, 02:06:32 pm »
I started this Osage bow at Pappy's during Spring Gobbler season last year and then I got it shooting while deer hunting again at Pappy's in November. I brought it home to Florida and put the tips and Cottonmouth Water Moccasin skin on. I shot this big booger during Archery season last year. I love the pattern this snake has.
  The bow came in at 48# at 28" and is 64" nock to nock. There was a little bend heated into it and it ended up with about an inch after shooting it in. This piece of Osage was cut in 1995. I was supprised at how fast and flat shooting it was considering I'm used to shooting a heavier weight bow.

That is a beautiful bow for sure. After working with Osage now for several years I am beginning to believe the longer the stave has time to season the better they are. Dean

Thanks Ronnie and Dean. I have to agree with you Dean about seasoned wood, there seems to be very few suprises.

Nice one Eddie.  Those skins look good on there.  I like the narrow handle too.  Those lighter bows are great for shooting all day, but still pack enough punch to take game.

That's a real nice looking bow, well done. I agree, the skins look awesome.

Could be just the photo but the scales on those skins look huge. I know nothing about that type of snake but couldn't help notice. Love to get my hands on a few.

Again, very nice bow and thanks for posting.
