Title: My first one.
Post by: Arrowbuster on March 04, 2016, 09:12:00 pm

Here is my first build. Not the prettiest bow but she shoots good. 65 NTN and comes in at 47@ 27.

That's a very nice first bow.  Mine didn't look near that good.

that first bow is always magic, isn't it? It doesn't matter how it looks, but it looks great to me.

Way to go AB! I hope it is not your last. I am working on my 3rd and it's been years since my 2nd. attempting and pulling off tip overlays on your first bow. Wow!

Tips are deer antler. No doubt I will be making more. Every time I shoot it it sure makes me smile. I understand why folks like building them. Great amount of satisfaction to be had. I can't wait to hunt with one of my own builds.

Thanks guys. I couldn't help it I just had to break out chronograph today. Results pleased me. Not a fire burner but plenty to take an ole deer. 47 pounds at my draw and 526 grain woody.

Well done Billy!  You will be more proud of that first deer no matter what it is, than likely any you've taken before. You've got skills, now make some kids bows!

That's about as nice of a "first" bow that I've seen posted.

Thanks guys for the praise but I had a bunch of help. If y'all hadn't noticed I been making all kinds of posts on here looking for advice. I got a lot of help from this site.

That came out nice, I would call it success & go and shoot the heck of that bow.

Great looking bow !!

Title: Re: My first one.
Post by: phyankord on March 18, 2016, 03:33:32 pm

how do you guys get that extra stuff on the ends for nocks?

Title: Re: My first one.
Post by: Arrowbuster on March 18, 2016, 08:34:13 pm

Im not sure how most do it but I just cut a deer antler in half, filed it flat and superglued it on. I shaped it and flied nocks in it after that.
