loads of bows and arrows,sinew,dogwood & lots of pics
« on: August 08, 2014, 10:17:31 pm »
well Im Spending My Summer Recovering from surgery so I've spent all my time in the Bow shop. I've been moving at a slow pace but here's what I've got done. 17 Sinew back Osage and black locust bows and 5 self bows, 60 dogwood arrows with homemade iron points and turkey feather fletchings.(30) Pictured. I've got 8 more Sinew back bows drying right now and calling it quits after that for a while. sorry for no full draw  pictures but I can't pull the Bows Yet. I've been having my brother draw them and check the tiller, but didn't think to get pictures of that. Enjoy The Pics.
