Osage Long Bow
« on: April 02, 2009, 12:31:22 pm »
This bow is 66" knock to knock and weighs in at 47 lbs @ 29".  I had cherry bark backing on it and it started cracking so I peeled it off and replaced it with this timber rattler.  It has 2" of reflex and drops to 1 1/2" just unstrung.  I used Timo's handle wrap build along as a change up to my usual grips.
