Title: 'nother osage hunting bow
Post by: Shaun on June 19, 2012, 03:15:00 pm

This is for the trade bow thing on the other site. Made "universal" specs because my recipient is still up in the air....62" 54@28 L/R arrow rest, beeswax finish and B-50 string. I like a bow with minimal bells and whistles because I use a hunting bow to whack brush, wade creeks and I toss them out of tree blinds to climb down.

Very nicely done, the bend in the limbs are really graceful, looks like it would send an arrow right in the center of anything you aimed at.

Really nice, Shaun! I'd say that take-down feature is a pretty big bell or whistle!! :laugh:

Very nice bow for sure. You forgot to mention using it to fight off wild hogs too. :)

I thought we got into this to throw out all the crappy bells and whistles!  Send me that bow and even I can't complain!  Simple, elegant, functional, durable, and deadly....fills my grocery list.

Thanks all. Yes, there are many other uses - as mentioned, fighting off wild hogs - also snake stick, jack handle, wounded squirrel/rabbit bopper and many others.
I do love a bow with artful tip overlays, sinew, snake skins, nice handle leather, etc. But for in the field I like simple and unbreakable osage.

I really really like your bow!  Sweet tiller and nothing better than a nice piece of osage for a takedown.  Beautiful work man.  :)

Great bow, it's workin' pretty hard being so short, and then you spring the surprise with that last pic...
Excellent  ;D

This is the epitome of wood bow making. Classic, simple, effective and beautiful.  I really dig it.
