New osage hunting bow
« on: August 27, 2013, 10:26:13 pm »
I started on this bow at the Classic this spring.  I took it from a stave to low brace the first day or two and then put it up to visit for the rest of the week.  I used one of Pappy's cauls to reflex and straighten it up.  I finally got some other projects done and was able to finish it up.  Its 63" long and 50# @25".  It holds some nice reflex even after I've shot it a bunch.  It has a couple pin knots on the edge of one limb.  The tips are water buffalo horn.  I finished it up a couple days before a bow shoot so I put 5 layers of spray shellac on it for a quick finish.  I wanted to cut down on the shine so I coated it with a thin layer of TB3 rubbed on with my finger.  That's the first time I have tried that.  I like how it turned out for a quick hunting finish.  I will be using it for deer hunting in just over a month.  This is probably the best performing bow that I have made so far.  It shoots straight and fast.























It was starting to get dark before I got somebody to take the full draw picture.  Its kind of blurry.

Looks like a good one Outlaw. I like the sweep in the outer 1/3 of the limbs and its braced and full draw profiles are sweet as well. Should easily drop any deer, good luck hunting.

Nothing quite like an Osage self bow with nice clean lines. That one's a beauty.
