The "Longhorn"....(tri-lam bow)
« on: September 07, 2013, 11:43:34 am »
Heres a hickory backed osage with walnut core limbs...8 different lams alone come into the reverse handle..theres curly maples,walnuts,hickory,padauk,and the osage...the curve underlays are walnut and curly maple as well with horn tip overlays and string bridges...python skins cover the back...theres almost more glue than wood in this bow  :laugh:  :laugh: 62" ntn...47@27"...18 ounces mass weight...3 1/2" reflex at rest after over 300 shots...started with a hair over 5"....smooooothest pulling bow ive ever made yet...fast...and accurate as well...the curves are inspired by ryano's big curve bows,and the reverse style handle is inspired by his brother pato's reverse handle bows..and the rest is all my flair  8)

sorry bout the pics guys...it doesn't do the bow justice by a long shot...I tried  :-\


































and a perfect ending to a perfect day in the gorgeous wooded hills of pennsyltucky  8)

Love the money shot. Looks like something straight out of Lord of the Rings. Something to be proud of for sure. Great job.

What an incredible creation.... It's like it has life, like observing a wild and dangerous animal... Art and function side by side at their highest level....!!
