my first bow!
« on: November 02, 2009, 09:17:26 pm »
this is my first bow to ever own and i was lucky enough to have a hand in building it  ;D.  i couldnt be happier with how it turned out! THANK YOU TIM (woodstick) for showing and teaching me how its done, hopefully this wont be my last one to build because i enjoyed every minute of it.  it ended up being 57" long and 54# at 27" and shoots great!! can't wait to get more shooting time in, definately need the practice  :-\

Looks good! Darn nice bow for a first. I suspect the deer will be throwing theirselves in front of it in the woods ;D. Love that skin, dyed tips combo on top of yellow - may have to try that ::).

   I just got off the phone with Tim and I had to check it out. You pulled off a great looking bow. I like the dye job too, I bet it will look really good when that Osage takes on a tan. And,,, It looks like we hooked another one, guys. ;D

 Thats a very impresive bow, especially for your first.  Very good job on the skins and tip stain. Looking forward to see more of your work in the future. Congratulations.     Keenan
