Haven't posted in a while, but I've been keeping up with my P.A. readings so I figured I'd share a few bows I have been working on....I know you will all hate me bc there are no F/D pics, but that's how it goes when you're on the lonely road.
After reading Beadman's (I think) post on his bison belly bow, I figured I'd try my hand at it:
Osage core pretillered b4 sinew and horn, ended up 42" ntn and 71# @24", came out a little heavier than I wanted but o well
ok I lied you get one sorta kinda fd pic, b4 adding the prairie rattler skin and buckskin handle, still need to add a horse hair tassel
Next was my first "hole in the limb" bow
66" osage 55#@28" for my compound shooting buddy who wanted a long bow for trying to wing shoot pheasants
Next is the bow I am currently trying to take a deer with
60" osage 57#@27"
tips b4 adding snake skins
next is a small "hole in the limb" bow that had a natural r/d profile for a compound shooting buddy that wanted a real bow to do some backyard shooting, this one really spits an arrow despite its lighter poundage
58" osage 46# @28"
next is my first actual "snake" bow...I don't think I could ever part with this thing
59" osage 63# @ 27"
last but not least, my first attempt at deflexing a handle, kind of modeled after some of the bow Blackhawk has put out
54" osage 53#@27" I think this one is going to take the title of my new hunting bow, it is a real good shooter
and finally, went out last weekend to try and wrangle some geese with the bow, but no flocks wanted to cooperate and didn't get any shots off
