Title: 62" of Osage With A Hole
Post by: JonW on June 05, 2013, 08:22:44 am

Makin some lighter draw bows to get my fingers rehabilitated. This one is 37# @ 28" and about 40# @ 30". Neat little belly split at 1 1/8" wide.A few wiggles and a knot hole make it complete. Flipped the tips to perk it up a bit. Smooth as silk and have tore up three arrows tryin to fit them in the same hole. I will shoot this one for a month or so and progress up a little in weight.

I've always liked the plain Jane bows and this is one of them. Very nicely done Jon!
Does the hole double as a peep sight :o

Looks very nice Jon. Must of messed up your fingers pretty badly to have to drop that much draw weight. Good luck with your rehab and glad your able to be back to making bows.
