Osagebow

[Karl-Heinz]

This is my latest bow and I like to share it with you. It's my first mini-bow or let say a wrbow for a midget.

The material is osage with hornoverlays and a chicken-foot-leather grip.
The Design is a flatbow with statik recurves and a max width of 7/8 inch declining to 5/32 at the tips.
19 inch from end to end and 20#@10", the braceheight is about 2 inch. The first shoots did have a speed of 122 fps.
The last picture in not fully drawn, it' s approximately 8,5 inch.

I hope this bow is appreciated by you - and just to let you know, usually I do build normally sized bows.

That is cool. I have a set of 4 started.  My brother is into throwing darts, so im going to make him 2 bows to shoot his dart boards. The arrows will be tipped with 4p nails.    And of course I NEED a set.  Justin

Very cool little bow, Karl. Your arrow speed is parr for a self bow. Usually add 100fps to draw weight for the average self bow speed. Looks like the Germans are gonna take over the site.    I am glad to see more and more new folks joining us, especially from faraway places.
Welcome to the family, Karl. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.   Pat

Hi K.H.
Welcome and you only have to work the right arrows for this bow

 You sure have a fine looking midget there. Now a big brother maybe 58" and 50# for up a tree.    Ridge

Thanks for all your comments, it's really nice to get so much positive response.


@ AndrewS You hit the bull's eye with an insufficient arrow so I have to work on my skills to.
@ Pat B It's a pleasure to be present.
