Title: Hackberry with Grumley Bushbow style nocks
Post by: DavidV on August 09, 2015, 02:18:52 pm
I just finished this bow after it's been standing in the corner for a few months too many. This is my first of this style and I'm really impressed so far; The bow hits hard, is quiet, and dead in the hand. I'd like to try an identical one in osage next time as the hackberry is pretty thick for the weight.

64" ntn
1 5/8" wide at the handle
44# at 28"
took around 1 to 1 1/2" set but it's been humid the past week.

Looks like a beautifully crafted bow.  Spot on tiller too.  Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

We should get together some time then, I'll bring it over and trade one of the sister staves.

Sounds good David. Get ahold of me, I've lost your number. My phone crashed. A bunch of us have been getting together at Onebowwonders house. Maybe you could join us next time. Good to talk to you. Patrick

Love them brush nocks, nothing gripes me like my bow grabbing brush while sneeking threw the woods.          Kenneth
