Hackberry bow !
« on: May 03, 2013, 10:04:23 pm »
48 pounds at 25 inchs ( my draw ) I've drawn it to 28 I'm guessing it's upper 50 s at 28 argentine lignum vitae tip over lays idk why but the tips were light brownish color an I guess they reacted with the finish and turned really dark bluish color looks cool tho it's overall a decent bow none of my bows are perfect I just make them good enough for me and that's all tht matters
