Sleek's Rattlesnake/Osage bow
« on: December 14, 2015, 12:57:07 am »
Sleek asked me to post this bow for him. He was having trouble getting this uploaded.
All I know about it is, it's 62in long 45lbs at 28in. Has 2 Rattlesnake skins on the back spalted blackjack oak tip overlays. The end with the velvet tail on it has the overlay carved to look like a rattle. I done the leather handle wrap with leather from hunterbob (thanks buddy). It shoots nice and has a pretty smooth  draw, oh and I shoot it better than sleek does!  >:D
I'll let him fill in the rest.

Full draw pic is not the best but you gotta post one right!

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

I'm not sure why it has that image link in the middle of the pictures. Patrick
