Title: more kids bows, their finnished with pics
Post by: bubby on June 21, 2011, 09:10:18 pm

my two youngest grandson's got to fightin over the one bow that i built the oldest one before his brother was born, so i got to making them a matched pare of hickory bows, this is #1, it's a little farther along than the other one, 48" ttt pyramid style about 16# @ 18" but big enough for them to grow with for awile, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/blade010-5.jpg)

Great looking bows. Great time with the kids.  You might want to move the target closer to the fence for safety reasons. An arrow could possibly glance off the brisket area and hit the truck or even someone walking up the side walk.  ;) I've seen them go almost sideways from the target when ricocheting.

thank's rich, josh, keenan, and most of his arrows went right over the back and into the fence, but ya I usually have the target right up against the fence, Bub
