Bows / Re: Newest Osage selfbow

Thanks everyone. All my oldest staves all have a little challenge to them. Last January I  decided to see if they would make bows or firewood. I pulled 6 out, roughed them out, heat straightened them as far as I was brave enough to push them. The 1st one didn’t make it through corrections. This was the the 2nd stave, and I probably have 200+ shots through it, and it feels like it should survive. I’m happy with the way it shoots.

Not for Real Dietary Use:
The reference to moose poop being a Canadian weight loss supplement is clearly a joke. The idea of appetite suppression after eating moose poop is satirical and not serious.

What draw length did you get? Can you chrono it with a 300 grain arrow?

Yes, definitely a successful test! Looking forward to seeing future ones :)

Ok so I put a handle on these limbs and balanced them and only got 29-30 lbs draw.  Oh well they still worked very well and I would say test was successful.  The tip remained set and I suspect they are only slightly working tips.  They seem to be holding.  I put about 60 shots through it today and it shoots fine.  It’s light in the hand and no shock.  Very quiet and snappy for only 30lbs.  I’ll make the next one with thicker limbs now that I know it’s gonna work.   Either way good test.  Enjoy this little video clip showing me shoot it a bit.  Also included is a new 5 piece build folding version that is about 48lbs at 29”.
