Made a bow for badly bent
« on: April 26, 2023, 07:30:25 am »
Heres an osage bow I finally finished for badly bent on our personal trade, Greg deliver last year and I was a bit slower. It pulls 43 lbs @ 26, 64.5 ttt. Walnut tip overlays and leather jacket handle wrap. Bow shoots smooth and quiet and I believe he really likes it.

Great looking bow, Mike. Like Pappy said, there's nothing not to like. Excellent job.

It's a real beauty. Quiet and quick. Greg shot it well.

Saw that one in person. Simply a very well executed selfbow. Nice job Mike, congratulations Greg!
