Centershot Osage Flatbow
« on: April 16, 2012, 10:01:04 pm »
Heres a quickie i made over the weekend. I wanted a sweet shooting target bow(n possible hunting with it),so i came up with this game plan. A 64"ntn osage flatbow with a centershot shelf cut in. I let it follow the string a lil over an inch(for forgiveness of shooting). It came in at 63@27,dang i missed my weight by two pounds..lol.  ;)  8)   Padauk tip overlays. I left it el natural,nothing but bare naked wood.  :)  Its 1.7" deep where the shelf is cut,and a 1.5" deep dished grip. I made the riser section a little longer,and tillered my fades on the stiff side to ensure safety because i never cut a shelf so far in before. It worked like a charm and shoots wonderfully. The string is about dead nuts centershot. Im pretty geeked about this one. It spits a nice arra too  ;)   Thanks for peeking....Chris

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  "...all the way around!"


Howdy BlackHawk,

I was really enjoying the close-ups of the handle and rest, and then came the fill-draw shots...  Super!

That's a huntin' machine ;)

Thanks for sharing,

Awesome!  Looks a lot like a hickory bow a did last year with a cut-in, even that light yeller color is close to the teak-oiled hickory.  I've been wondering how padauk would look on osage, got plenty of that laying around.  Looks good 8)
