Title: My BBI for texas.. (Not For Bow of the month)
Post by: knightd on October 18, 2009, 05:44:11 pm

 This is one I just built for to take to Texas for a hog hunt that I will be going on in 11 days or so..  ;D  It is 58" ntn 55# at 26" I did tiller it out to 62# at 29" this way I can let somebody else use it if need be.. The riser is Hickory,Osage and Brazilian cherry.. The power lam is Canary wood. It is stained with burgundy and black.. I hope to make some meat with it soon!!

I usually don't like these RD BBsomethings...  Too modern for a guy with a trowel. 

This one is just too beautiful though.  Especially the stain on the Bamboo.

The pigs will throw themselves at you.

David
Another awesome bow.  I really like those narrow tips.   Hope you make some bacon with it.  Good Luck,  If you are not happy with it 55# @26 is perfect for me  ;D

any narrower and you'll poke somebody's eye out

Really nice.  Is the extension of the first lam of the riser out in a thin tapering manner a strategy to avoid popoff?

nice bow david!!   :)   I love the fact you can get a 29" draw out of a 58" bow w/ a handle riser!!!!  Gives me something to SHOOT for (no pun intended)   :)   -josh

Post by: knightd on October 19, 2009, 11:14:30 am

I am sure I will need all the luck I can get.. ;D..  The thin tapered lams are there to avoid pop off.. I do belive that with a power lam you might not need them but I like to be safe and I think it gives me the chance to show some nice wood combo's in the riser as well..

Great lookin' bow David. If you're swinging thru Oklahoma on your way back from Texas, let me know and I'll fire up the smoker. ;D Good luck!

Beauty bow, man.  Looks like a good luck bow, for pig huntin'.

One of the advantages of BOM is that we get a second look at bows. Otherwise, due to the popularity of the BOWS forum, a bow, once posted, winds up several pages back very quickly. Soon it is forgotten except for the most diligent of researchers.
So, you might reconsider offering up this fine bow for BOM.
