Title: woodland boo backed osage
Post by: SA on April 21, 2012, 12:14:37 am

i really like this design ,the way  they bend in the handle and the way they shoot so smooth,can't help it.  cherokee , creek, yuchi,and probably some other eastern tribes all seem to have pretty much the same design with certain preference's in nocks . i copied a some yuchi style nocks (small diamond nocks) from a pic i saw, other than that i can't see to much difference in them.
1-1/4'' throughout  up to the last 10'' then tapers to 1/2'' ,61-1/2'' ntn 40" @ 26''  . she shoots great and held a little bit of reflex i glued in ,came in to light for a trade bow i have another in the works ;) i haven't been building alot lately so it may take a couple to get back into it.

Yup, nice tiller, I bet that baby would come back to 28" and then pack a nice punch.
Mind I think 40# is a good comfortable weight for shooting all day.

Very nice bend right there. My favorite style, got to believe that the performance is way above a "regular" 40# bow too.

Nice job. I never get enough of bendy handle bows. I bet the performance is nice with the BBO.

Very nice retro for a proven style bow.  The Eastern Woodland style bows are one of my favorite styles. You nailed the tiller. Very nicely done, sa.
