Rawhide backed Pignut Hickory Recurve

Well this is my latest bow , It's a 65" rawhide backed hickory recurve.The recurves are pretty short but the string touches the tips at brace.This is the first recurve I've made in a long time.( I usually can't shoot recurves well) The handle is layered hickory and maple .The bow pulls 50#@ 28 .The bow shoots really hard and fast.I stained the bow with dark ebony stain. which turned the rawhide and wood a dark gray color..I named the bow"The Gray Ghost" I'm really happy with the way this bow turned out. I know th tiller looks kinda off but I have a pretty severe cant when I shoot.Hope ya enjoy

Nice bow. Hickory is great stuff. That one should last you a life time. I like that arrow too. Looks like bow season needs to hurry up and get here.
