Snake Bow finished.
« on: January 25, 2012, 07:19:34 am »
Ya I know it has take a while but finely calling it done.I have a hundred or so arrows through it and other than the one problem I had early on in the top snake  and the propeller  in the same area that make it a bugger to tiller,you keep having to look at one side and then the other ,all seems fine.It is smooth to draw,no shock and hits where you look.What more could you ask from a bow.
It turned out 47@26 , 61 inches n-n Osage billets [from Shannon],deer antler tips [From Pappy] Elk hide grip and striker from [WolfWatcher] Timber skins from [ :-\ ] Rawhide from [Pappy] This has been a fun project and I think it has been fun
for all those that have been around and gave me a hand now and then.Hope yall enjoy. :) :)

Thanks guys,I appreciate all the comments. Keep in mind under the new rules I think this will go in the backed bow class,it has a deer rawhide backing under the snake skin. :)
