Been making a few bows for trades lately, here is one for Hobow's 5 yr old son.....a self bow of black walnut, 48", 10# @15" / 12# @ 20" / 15# @ 25"......painted like the Crow bow I posted a little while ago. Seems he cant decide if he wants to be right or left handed so it has floppy-rests on both sides. Figured he maybe could use a quiver also...... along with a primitive arrow.

Here's the pics, hope they like it. 2 full draw pics....one with a 21" arrow and the second with a 25" arrow.

With a floppy rest on each side and a mind uncluttered by years of mind-numbing repitition, he might be able to shoot ambidextrously! That would be a skill for a hunter with serious intent.

Nice piece of work, again, half eye. You never dis ppoint.

Nice job Rich. Ya did a youngun good with that set. I'm going to have to get my computer screen checked. It seems to get these sporadic white spots.

Rich,
Presley got the boy and

He was blown away. The quiver and arrow put him over the top. To say the least, he was ready to go "deer hunting" today. After several attempts, I have much more respect for the kids bows and this one turned out perfect! After the Classic, we are going on vacation so I will have some time to work with him on shooting and safety. Thanks!
