What can I say I tried.Sorry for the small pics.I downloaded to photobucket to resize and this is suppose to be 640x480.But they still look small to me.Plus I'm a lousy photgragher.But here it is my first osage selfbow.This is the bow I bought and started at Pappy's Tenn.Classic from a gentleman named Gary Davis who seemed to know alot abought selfbows.I can't take credit for the hard work of roughing it out from stave form,following the growth ring right.But I did tiller it,finish it and from advice on this site used the Ferrit's Floppy Arra Rest(that I like alot).I also had inquired abought handshock with this bow.And PatB recommended thicker tips.So I made a set of maple limb tip overlays for it.Another first,some could say they don't really match the bow and I might agree,its just what I had on hand.And I don't think the deer will mind.And yes it did reduce handshock.Its 67''ntn 53#@28''and shoots pretty decent.It still has a little kick to it so maybe I'll look closer at the tiller again.Thanks for everyone's help with my many questions.And yes I'm hooked and will be starting another one soon.tradrick
