Post by: jturkey on December 04, 2011, 10:48:27 pm

i'm looking for information on a bow i saw on here a few months ago i believe it wa a red oak board bow and the guy made it with a slanted handle so that you could shoot either limb up and almost be centershot was looking for the link to the post so i can take a real quick look at it.
thanks for any help that you can give as well as any advice on a 72 in. red oak bow with a 8 inch stiff handle trying to get to 50 lbs it is 1.75" at the fades parallel for 8 inches then tapers to 1/2" nocksit looks great i will get pics added as soon as i get it floor tillered and on the long string. till themn any advice will be welcomed.
p.s. i like the 72 inch length not sure why but they seem to shoot better for me after i get them tillered out to my draw length.    john
