osage shorty
« on: January 12, 2014, 07:09:06 pm »
Haven't finished one in a while so I made myself clean one up over the weekend. This one came from a deflex stave. I set back the handle and reflexed the tips. I had it at 50 to 52 @ 26 but kept messing with the tiller. Ended up 46@26 but is a easy shooter and am more accurate with it. 53"ntn with horn tips and a little snake I had around. In the beginning the tips where 1" past the handle and after around 200 shots there even. So a little set but not to bad. Critique welcome, thanks for looking.

Full draw is a little short, hard time getting the pic timed.

Nice Paul. Like those profiles braced, drawn and resting, looks like its storing up some good energy in the full draw. Nice finish work as well, and man you got some kinda skinny tips on that one. Cool bow!

Love the unbraced profile.  Drawn looks pretty sweet as well.

very elegant, Paul. I like the small tips and the colored horn. BTW. beautiful arrow, too!
How did you shape the handle? Is it carved in the wood, or upholstered?
