2 R/D Bows for Friends
« on: July 16, 2018, 08:43:24 am »
I have 2 good friends from high school that I'm trying to get into traditional archery, so I let them pick the materials and colors they liked and I made them these bows.  I normally don't put this much focus on looks, but I wanted to get them something they would be excited to shoot.
 
Bow 1: Osage/Walnut/Bamboo, 50#'s @ 28", 65" NTN
Bow 2: Ipe/Hickory/Bamboo, 52#'s @ 28", 65" NTN

I need to get a full draw of the ipe bow.  I'll update when I do.

Very nice bows.  They look good with a great bend on the osage.
