Simply Orange (hunting pictures pg4)
« on: August 20, 2018, 03:58:13 pm »
I posted this one awhile back unfinished. It's actually my first osage bow and it's nothing but a Osage , a string and tru oil. I call it "Simply Orange". I've been shooting it for about nine months now and it's really holding its profile nicely. To tell you the truth it's been so long since I had it on the tree I kinda forgot it's draw weight but somewhere close to 50@25". If I remember right it's 62" ttt. I actually hunted with it late muzzle loader season last year without any finish on her. I plan on hunting with her this year and it's coming soon. Just thought I'd share a few pictures with you all.
Hope you like em.

Anything added to that would just be superfluous.

Why guild a lily?

That's everything a traditional bow should be. I love it.  )P(

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. I thought about putting tip overlays on but I couldn't make myself do it. It really is amazing to me what a sliver of this wood will do.
