Shorty Osage

[Olschool]

I started this bow back in September, but put it on hold while I started building a workshop to hold the saws, sanders, bow horse, etc.
When I needed a short bow to hunt out of one of my pop-up blinds I got motivated and did some more work on it.




56", 54" ntn, 50@28 (so far  )
Will have to see how she settles in after I finish the break in.

Very cool snakey bow. How does she shoot? Full draw pics? Danny

Looks like a fun and challenging piece of wood.  That is really short for a stiff handle and a 28" draw.

I only shot 3 arrows at full draw, about 20 at 24 inches. They all hit the block target  
Will shoot some more tomorrow and see if I can get my daughter to take my picture at full draw.

Lot of character in that one - looks good! I've realized that I could use a shorty for huntin , and maybe brush guards too.....

Thanks guys, It was foggy, cold, and raining when I got home, so only got to burnish the back again and put another coat of tung oil on it. Strung it up and let it sit for awhile to make sure it remembers bending.  Hope I can get out and shoot it some more tomorrow and get some pictures of it on the tiller tree.

Nice work!! Yep, I love it too.
