Title: Glass and carbon bow
Post by: Jesse on March 15, 2012, 04:31:07 pm

I have been busy building forms and bows all winter. I have some boo backed and osage selfbows in the works but here is my latest.
Carbon backed, 52#@28" osage, ipe, and cherry riser. Im very happy with the performance of this design. Thanks for looking. I know I have not posted in a while but I have enjoyed looking at all the great work you guys put out. Thanks!    Jesse Smith

Wow!  Man that is a sexy bow (worked as a yacht builder, family business, and love carbon)  The really cool part about that bow is that it is my perfect weight @ draw  >:D  8)

That's a beauty, Jesse.  What other style forms have you made?

thanks. I dont have a different style of bow really.meaning they are R/D longbows  Just played with different variations. This is my favorite profile. I have a nice one for boo backed bows as well.
