1st BBO off new form.
« on: December 14, 2009, 01:05:41 am »
Here's my first bow off my new form. It's 64" and pulls 50#@28". Osage backed with Bamboo with Sapele accents. This thang shoots hard and is dead quite too. I gave it a light coat of red mahogony stain and sealed her up with poly. Let me know what ya think.

Thanks guys. Glad ya like it. I've got to tweak the form a little here and there, but it sure seems to work better than my old board form. It's a rubberband form.

kylerprochaska, I'll try to get a pic of the form posted tonight.
