First bow I ever saw in The Traditional Bowyers Bible was the gemsbock bow and it's all I ever wanted to make.  Two hundred and some bows later I still have not made the gemsbock bow but you made one and it's your first bow.  Man, you really know how to rub it in a guy's face!

Nice work, by the way.  We all love good bow porn here, so post some pics of it at full draw!!!

Welcome to Primitive Archer.

that bow is awesome looking! has a real tribal look to it especially with the feathers you added to it.  I like the ideal of added the recurved horn tips.  Just curious, but what are the stats on it?  The gemsbok bow in TBB1 drew about 80lbs I think.  Again very impressive bow, even more impressive for a 1st bow.

Mr Lombard, I want to thank you for that full draw photograph! 

I've wanted to take a gemsbock in Africa with one of my bows for almost 10 years now.  I am re-doubling my efforts to save up to come over there to achieve this dream!  Thanks for fueling my madness!

Yeah I am curious about the stats and the performance on the bow.  It is a pretty neat looking bow.
