Good Day everyone, I wanted to start a new post to show off the trade bow I recently received from Kyle in the 2019 PA bow trade. I got home one evening to find a surprisingly short package sitting on my porch which instantly got my wheels turning of exactly what might be contained inside. Inside I found a true treasure of a bow that I was lucky enough to receive.
I will give the specs, but the pictures do the true justice of what this little bow truly is. I have always wanted a paddle bow but have never taken the time to really dive into the particular aspects of building one. Luckily I now have one of the nicest paddle bows I have ever seen!
46" ntn Osage paddle bow, 1 3/4" wide at the handle with roughly 2 1/2" wide limbs with nice recurved tips.
The bow holds 1 3/4" reflex and draws 60# @ 26". The grip is birch bark and squirrel rawhide.
Apon shooting the bow I was instantly blown away with many aspects of it. The draw is smooth and powerful and the bow launches an arrow with authority. Hand shock is nonexistent with really impressed me coming from a short bendy handle bow. Everything about the bow just has me impressed. It is so compact and easy to shoot from any position. This bow has taken away all stereotypes I had of short bows and has me really re-thinking what is possible with a short bow.
Kyle, you did a great job and you are a true craftsman. Hats off to you buddy for such a nice bow, I really appreciate it!
I hope everyone else will soon be enjoying their new trade bows as well.
Cheers,
Taylor
