Hunter's Osage bow 11 years old.
« on: June 18, 2012, 09:38:20 am »
 This is waht BigA had to say. :) :) His name is Hunter Nash he is 11 years old. The bow is 8 year old Osage  60” tip to tip, 1and ½” wide at the fade  the last 12 inches tapers to 1/4 “ at the tip. The handle section is

7 and ½ “ X 1-1/4 “ X 1” cut to center shot. Cow skin leather grip. The tips are buffalo with deer horn over them. It has one layer of sinew  with diamondback rattler  skins . It has about 8-9 coats of Helmans  spar urethane gloss for the finish. The bow is 35 pounds at 26 inches and will be 40 #’s at 28” so it will last him a few years before he grows out of it and almost be enough to hunt with . He is only pulling about 20 pounds at 21” now.
       This is the bow BigA has been helping Hunter with over the last couple of months at TwinOaks.Hunter has stayed with it pretty good and between Baseball finely got her shooting,congrat Hunter.Very nice first bow.

Very nicely done, Hunter.  A fine bow for what I'm certain is, a fine young man.  Way to stick to it!

Half of that kid is made out of grin!  I wonder why? 

This is another example of that PA means to me, what people tell me Twin Oaks is all about.
