"Rattler"
« on: June 04, 2009, 06:00:52 pm »
Hey, Everyone... I'd like you to meet Rattler. I made this bow over a year ago, but I've recently refined it. It was originally 70#, but I retillered it to 60#... a bit more cumfy for treestand hunting, and general shooting. She's 62" NTN, 60#@27", hickory backed osage, with western rattler skins. The skins came complete with rattler tails, so I incorporated one into the grip. It was a very marginal piece of osage, with crazy grain and lots of run off, so I decided to back it. Strunk style grip, and self nocks. 1" of set, from a straight stave.

Here's the full draw pic...
I think this is perhaps one of the best tillered bows I have yet made. This bow does already have some mojo... I did kill with it last fall.

  That's a good looking bow and the tiller is dead on. I really like how you wraped the handle.

Hickory backed osage makes a very good bow and this is a fine example. Very nice bow!
