Title: 2nd bow for today, my best yet!
Post by: Apex Predator on May 19, 2008, 02:27:34 pm

I built this one for me! :)  It's 63 NTN and draws 48@27.  This one is a reflex deflex bamboo backed ipe.  The tips are less than one inch behind the handle.  She is a really good shooter!  I sure love working with this ipe.

Great handle and tips. But it is the braced view that makes me go Ahhh!
If you want to send another full draw that's okay. Anyway we'll look at it again on the 31st!

...that didnt look like a wooden arra to me! :o :o

That's a tapered cedar stained green.  I have always shot carbons out of my glass bows, and this woodie thing is very though for me.  I built a set from Don Adam's tapered shafts, and haven't been too happy about the consistency.

Gotcha - always a good idea to upgrade your pictures seeing as how this is the only way to evaluate BOM entries.
