Title: Congrats to Josh Baty for His May Laminate Bow of the Month Selection
Post by: OldBow on June 04, 2010, 01:34:01 pm

Congratulations to Josh Baty of Fultondale, Alabama
His Tri-Lam Bow Won Laminate Bow of the Month for May!
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,19698.0.html

From Josh:This is my first attempt at a Tri Lam bow.  It is bamboo backed Yellowheart (satinwood)  with a purple heart core.  Shallow R/D design.  66" NtN, 5
5 lbs at 28".  I glued in around 2 inches of reflex and it kept nearly an inch after shooting it in. I really like the color combo in these two woods together, I was afraid it would look really girl-y but I think the speed of this one speaks for itself.  
It came out pretty fast, the fastest bow I have made yet.  *EDIT*  Oh yeah I named her "Sunset", too. I was surprised this one came out as cool as it did.  i had some clamping problems during glue up of the backing strip but it worked out since Urac has a pretty long open time.  I did throw a few clamps in the process though. It only took like 2 weeks, start to finish!  
This is only a sample of the praise for this bow:
Wow! That's extreme. Other than the perfect tiller, the detail around the handle looks awesome. Super nice job on that bow!
gmc
That looks Kill Josh, I'm motivated now. -bowkee
Nice!  And if you ever deciNice!  And if you ever decide you just have WAY to many bows, here's another lefty
that could take that fine piece of art and put it to good use!!   Good job! -jeffutley57
Josh, you really nailed that one. What a beauty. If that pass wasn't on the wrong side,
I'd be tempted to try to talk you into a trade of some sort. Lombard
Thats a sharp looking Bow You built there...I like it!...and You are  right the woods accent eachother...
and they really look good together...Great Tiller too...You done Good on this one ....... El Destructo

Great bow, Josh.  Beautiful and deadly.  Don't let those guys who shoot from the wrong side make comments about left-handers.  You and me and Fred Bear, baby!  Congratulations.

Thanks Frank!

Thanks Dan!  You know... Sometimes on the 3D courses I have shot they try to make the shot difficult for a right handed shooter, and it turns out to be easy for a lefty... Not all the time but it is kinda fun shooting in a group of people and they are all struggling to find a shooting lane and I just lean out and shoot around all the obstacles!   :)
