Title: My new best friend :-)
Post by: MM2 on June 28, 2020, 02:31:05 am
Greetings, great and glorious Bowyers!

Let me show you my new bow!  :)

But first and foremost I'd like to say a gigantic thank you for:

BowEd, Del the cat, Ryan Yoon (ryoon4690), bownarra,    willie, Pappy, Pat B, and PaSteve

for their helps and tips. Guys, I will be forever grateful for you!

The bow is 72 inch from tip to tip, it pulls 35 pounds at 26 inch (I tillered up to 27, where is 38 pounds.)

It's just a simple flatbow from and oak board, but this is my first "serious" bow, and I'm very happy about it.   :)

Greetings:

Michael

Well done! Glad it turned out well. “Just a simple flatbow” has been putting meat on the table for thousands of years.  ;)

Oh.My.God!

The finest bowmakers congratulate me...
I can't believe my eyes. I'm speechless.

Thank's a lot, my friends!

(On Sunday, in the morning I finished this bow, in the afternoon I shooted with it for 200 times, and in the evening I started a new one...  :) )
