Various sinew backed bows from a year ago
« on: October 18, 2013, 09:48:44 am »
While I figure out what is wrong with my latest projects getting uploaded I thought I'd share ones that I already had prior to joining this site. All these were made of ash backed with deer sinew. One was for my youngest son and although it was only 28# at 22" it is a snappy little shooter for him. Anyways enjoy and have a great weekend.

Thanks guys.

Mike ash I cut from the woods around my house. The sinew on those bows came from the deer season previously. Now I get sinew from friends who just turn over the lower legs of their deer.
