Title: Another Red Oak Board Shooter
Post by: NTD on September 17, 2009, 04:38:37 pm: I asked some advice awhile ago on what to do with a 1" wide piece of scrap that I had. Well here it is. 64" total length 62" ntn 1" wide till mid limb to 5/8" tips. It turned out better than I could have hoped. It draws 41lbs @ 28". I actually made it for the wifey so it's 30lbs @ 24". It has taken less set than I though only 1 1/2" and actually relaxes to just over an inch.

It is stained but no finish just burnished. I have a small boa skin thawing right now that I plan to put on the back and will be doing a "Cooper" leather wrap after that. Thanks for looking please let me know what you think.

The middle pic is the full draw sorry you can't see it.

Not sure what kind of tree that is :) But I rent so I would get in all kinds of trouble if I cut it down ;D

New Pics coming soon!
