Gordon, Yes, I made the cabinet, all the arrows, guns, and the house they reside in, oh yeah, the double is a Perersoli. ;D Looking back I wonder how the heck I had the time and energy!
JW, I'd be glad to post some of the guns I have made, but I'm not sure where that would go, and don't want to p1$$ anyone off!

Beautifull bows, guys. Please post the guns, Robby. :) I only have two I've kept, the rest have been given away, traded, sold or donated to raffle drawings. I'll get some pictures when the rain quits.

Looking through old post and found this started by Gordon. Anytime I see something started by Gordon I look to see his great bows.
Thought I would add some from my overcrowded bow rack, these represent a little less than half of what I've made in the last 14 yrs.
Left to right; white oak, black locust, black walnut, hackberry, walnut, painted osage, hickory,elm, black locust, osage, hickory, black locust, black locust, elm, osage, walnut, hickory, walnut, rawhide backed & painted osage, osage, osage, walnut, painted osage, osage,
painted hickory &  osage (my first bow).                 
Have more at various locations around the house and have gifted away the others. Some of these on the rack belong to my daughters and wife and a few are to be given away soon. Thanks for looking.

Quick question I noticed your bows are pulling 25". Any reason for that..? Just curious. Very nice bows by the way.
cheers,

Here are a few pics of my bows. Some were made by me and some by others.
These first 3 are ones that Rich(Half Eye) sent to me last year...


This is where I hang bows that I am normally shooting at the time...


and here are the rest of them...




  I do have a few other bows but they are old wood bows or old FG bows.

He draws to 25". Thats the great thing about making bows you can tune them to the draw length you shoot.

You guys have so much consistency in the quality of your bows! Not sure if I have what it takes to show off around you guys. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing pics of all the bows together.
