Title: New to site, New to world
Post by: CustomArcher15 on July 19, 2014, 05:31:26 pm
Hey guys I have been making bows for a few years, mostly selfbows but the last year have started making lams. I am into every aspect of primitive archer and love the mag. I think all the BOM on there are absolutely beautiful and hope you guys at some point will see my work in there. Here is a bow I brought into the world for a buddy. It is bamboo backed osage r/d. It has zebra wood between the osage and bamboo in the handle. There is also blood wood, ipe, and more osage in the handle. My friend is left handed so this one was my first making one for a lefty. My dad is the one pulling it back in one of the pics. Excuse some if the pics, they were taken in the process of making it. The tips have zebra wood and honey horn and the bow also has copperheads on the bow. Quite a striking bow I think. It has one inch of reflex after unstringing. The bow finished out at 60#@30" and the bow is 68" long. I also have a question. I would like to put this up for BOM if I could. How do I do that? Thanks!

Go to the stickies on the BOM forum. One of them gives the instructions. It's pretty simple.

Welcome to PA and that's a sharp looking bow, you'll fit right in.

You also need a subscription to the magazine to be eligible for BOM.
