Nice bow Mickey. Looks like yours has more conventional nocks though.

Marc actually mine has leather back nocks, wedges of leather glued and sinew wrapped on. Look scary but they work . I hunted a lot with that bow, and "counted coup" (which incidentally was the bow's name) on many deer & turkeys. I recently gifted it to a good friend.

I'm just amazed at what you're able to squeeze out of the whitewoods. Very nice bow!

You sure I didn't Jamie? :)

That wouldn't have worked for me Mickey. This had to be in keeping with tradition

The design on the belly is burnt in. The Turtle was my own addition.
