(new picture's) plains indian type bow
« on: December 21, 2007, 09:54:27 am »
Here's a little bow I'm working on for a friend of mine. He wanted something short that draws and shoots smoothly, and he wanted it to be "Indian looking."  ::) So I went through the pictures in my bowyers bible and this is the design I picked. Granted this is not a replica I didn't follow the specs to a T. Just the basic design is the same. Its 54" ntn and pulls about 50#@26" which is his draw length. It seems to shoot pretty snappy and it draws sweet. I will post a full draw later when I finish it. I tillered the set back handle to slightly open up at full draw.  :)

Oh ya, and check out how this bow could be a twin sister to (Mullets) Eddie's Bow.  I tried to put them side by side in the one picture we will see if it worked.  :o Nope Sorry you'll have to go back to his twisted sister thread to compare. Thats just weird!

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Very nice, love the side profile and the pin nocks with the long pins.  Looks like a great hunting bow.

That's a slick lookin bow.  I didn't know you could go that short without backing.  Have you ever done that short of an unbacked bow before?
