This is my new hickory bow that I made over Christmas break.
- Walnut tip overlays (first time doing tip overlays)
-Artificial rattlesnake backing
- Grip is wrapped with twine and then heavily varnished
- 69" NTN
-Original had about 1.5 inches of set but after heat treating, set is only 1/2"
-53# at 28"
Thanks to the heat treating, the bow shoots very nicely. This has been the first time I have ever heat treated a bow, and the result really show. This is my new favorite.

Nice tiller work Victor. I concur with Chickhawk, head over to Marshall this Memorial weekend and you will have a ball.

Looks like a very good bow. How did you like the fake skins?
-
The fake skins are great. They were easy to put on and looked great after I varnished the entire bow.

Where is this 'Marshall' you all speak of???
MOJAM is in Marshall, MO every summer, ...but this appears to be something else.

Oh, and that's a lovely Hick Bow Sir!!! Heat treating Hickory seems to make ALL the difference!

Yes, where is this Marshall shoot at because I would love to go?

Marshall Michigan Victor, about a 2 1/2 hour ride for you.

Well yes I know it would be in Marshal but exactly where in Marshal is this at? Is there an address I can Map quest?
-
Very nice bow 99. Is that a Board bow..?
-
No that isn't a board bow. It is from a hickory tree I cut in July.
-
Well made bow, SicVic.

Its a primitive only shoot(no glass or wheels allowed) near Marshall Michigan. The shoot has been around for much longer than mojam,and is the place where the traditional bowyers Bible authors met together and conceived the idea of writing it. It is part of the start of the modern primitive archery revolution...you owe it a pilgrimage ;)

Good looking bow and nice tiller too. That one should be good for many arrows in your future, well done Victor.
