Title: my first bow!
Post by: woodstick2 on November 02, 2009, 09:17:26 pm

this is my first bow to ever own and i was lucky enough to have a hand in building it  ;D.  i couldnt be happier with how it turned out! THANK YOU TIM (woodstick) for showing and teaching me how its done, hopefully this wont be my last one to build because i enjoyed every minute of it.  it ended up being 57" long and 54# at 27" and shoots great!! can't wait to get more shooting time in, definately need the practice  :-\

Looks good! Darn nice bow for a first. I suspect the deer will be throwing theirselves in front of it in the woods ;D. Love that skin, dyed tips combo on top of yellow - may have to try that ::).

   I just got off the phone with Tim and I had to check it out. You pulled off a great looking bow. I like the dye job too, I bet it will look really good when that Osage takes on a tan. And,,, It looks like we hooked another one, guys. ;D

 Thats a very impresive bow, especially for your first.  Very good job on the skins and tip stain. Looking forward to see more of your work in the future. Congratulations.     Keenan

rattlers skins.

Yep one of my favorite rattlers too, the Canebrake or also called the Timber rattler.  Arizona has 13 of the 16 species of rattlesnake native to the U.S., the Timber is one of those 3 we don't have :(

Great Bow by the way!!! Amazing...especially for a first.
