Title: Osage/Sinew Gullwing bow
Post by: NorthHeart on July 09, 2019, 01:19:44 pm

My latest sinew backed Osage short bow. 44” OAL. 38# @ 23.5”.  Profile shaped with dry heat.  A joy to shoot, and for such a light draw weight i'm impressed with its ability to cast a 520gr arrow at over 140fps.  I read something about getting the handle to flatten out at full draw on Gullwing bows.  I think i achieved that pretty well here.  I've been at this bow for the better part of a year.  Another one with many lessons learned. )P(

I like that one a lot, as well as all of your other bows. You are a great inspiration but I'm still afraid of my first painting job  :OK :OK :OK

Nice bow Northheart. One can certainly see you put a lot into and got a lot out of that one.

Everyone's compliments have such a personal nature to them.  I humbly respect and appreciate that, my friends.  My style grows with each NorthHeart bow, and i continue to learn from all of you.  For me that is the beauty in this.
