Title: Saying hello with bow pic
Post by: Magnum in MS on May 03, 2010, 10:38:20 pm

Been lurking for a while and have enjoyed the sight. I finished a bow today and thought I would see if I could post a few pics.

Beautiful bow. Your full draw looks perfect. How wide is your bow at the handle? Dean

The bow is 1 1/4" at the handle. I left it a little long to help with it being narrow. This is my first stave bow and only my third bow. The other two were red oak board bows. I think this maybe habit forming.

Beautiful bow.  I've tried shooting with several different styles of bows but a simple, bend through the handle D-bow is still my favorite.

Welcome to PA Magnum. Excellent job on your third bow. Making a narrow hickory with that little set takes skill...or luck!  ;D  Looks like skill to me.  ;)
