Title: New HHB
Post by: John K on August 21, 2009, 11:04:57 am

I've been wanting to make a lower poundage bow for awhile now. The other day i picked up this piece of HHB out of the corner of my shop. It's a piece i salvaged from when i cut some HHB last summer and it checked bad on me, because i didn't seal the back.

Anyways it's about 1" wide for the whole length until the last 8" then tappers to the pin nocks. The snake skins are from Aires that i got in a trade from him. The bow is about 64" ttt and 30# @ 26" really not a bad shooter with the right arrows !
