Sweet job Eric, that gull wing shape is just too cool. awesome full draw and the arrows aren't bad either. ;)
-
Thought there were three different bows ;) That is a sweet one. What is the draw length and weight?
-
Thanks. Mullet the bow is 53" and 52 NTN. appx 45 pds at 25".

Nice! I really like the profile. I'm gonna have to try one of them. So many bows, so little time....

Spectacular work Eric!!!
I love the whole set...I have a bunch of dogwoods cured in the basement ready to be turned into some deer killers as well.
Hey Matt, let's do a Gullwing build-a-bow weekend sometime.
-
Is that a natural setback in the handle or did you form it. If you formed it I would like to hear how you do it. I mean heat gun or steam or boil. Man I really like them arras.
-
I really like those gullwing bows...very nice work.

Beautiful bow! I've been feeling a gullwing attempt in my future. The arrows are awesome. How long is the fletching?

We come to expect no less than these nice bows from you Eric, fine job yet again. Thanks for sharing.
-
That's a beaut. As been said, I too like the gull wing shape.
BTW How did you survive that heatwave this summer in Oklahoma. I live in Az now and my family back in Ok said it was like Az heat WITH the humidity.
Anyway, beautiful weapon as usual...

Gorgeous bow, Eric!

Thanks for the replies. The set back was acheived with steam, but you must be careful not to crack the wood on the underside of the handle.
The heat was very bad this year in Okla, we had many days from 108-112 degrees. I worked most of them, My shop by afternoon was usually around 110 degrees on the average, So I usually worked from 7 a.m. till 1 p.m. then stopped for the afternoon and back at it in the evening. Was dangerously hot this year. I usually went through a gallon of water a day while working.
We are cooling off now and fall is really great here..not to mention Hunting season starts. ;D

Now I'm really homesick. I know how thick the white tail are. I lived in NE OK, on the edge of the Neosho river. Past my house....nothing but woods. Man it was beautiful...My house, river/woods, grand lake. :) Late night in the winter I could spot light my back yard and have 2-4 sets of red eyes looking back at me once in a while.
Out here, you got Javalina, coyote, and you have to hope for a lottery pick to get elk.

I only shoot self arrows so I know what it takes cto get arrows to look like that. EXSPECIALLY dogwood which is what I mainly shoot. SWEETTTTTTT
I don't think people that shoot dowel arrows appreciate arrows as much as someone who makes them. I know I did'nt when I
