Title: A bow
Post by: Joec123able on May 19, 2016, 07:01:30 pm
68" tip to tip, about 47 ish pounds at 27". First hole in the limb bow for me, was a piece I threw in the corner about a year ago because I didn't want to straighten the crazy stave out but ended up picking it out of the shed a couple months ago to give it a try.
