Title: Hickory bow for young man
Post by: beetlebailey1977 on December 23, 2011, 01:10:03 am

This bow is 52" tip to tip and 51" ntn.  1 1/4" wide at the fades tapering even to 3/8" at the tips.  It has a 4" handle that bends ever so slightly at the 20" draw.  Leather grip and leather floppy rest.  It is quarter sawed hickory stained with red oak stain.  It draws 10# @ 18" and can be drawn out to 20".  I did a little simple painting on the back.

I also made him a quiver and six arrows.  This is all going to be a Christmas present.

Nice bend there Bailey. There will be a big smile on the face of the young man for sure.

That's a great looking bow and that will certainly make the recipient a happy lad on Christmas day.

 That ought to make a young man happy, great little bow. Kid's bows are my nemesis, I can never get the weight I'm after.
