New bow building group
« on: January 26, 2013, 02:24:12 am »
This is my second group of bow builds. We have been meeting every friday night for the last couple of weeks. You learn a lot from watching others working on their bows. These guys are from our local bow club. One of those staves I am working on for Jw Halverson. Stalking fox to bad you didnt live a little closer. Josh (gun doc ) if you in the area  sometime stop by on a friday night .

Cool, John. Working around others sure is a big help when building bows.
  Those guys sure are bundled up for building bows. If you put some heat in that shop you might get more participants.  ;D
