« on: February 01, 2010, 09:19:11 pm »
I am not much of a bowyer so no making fun  LOL ..  this one actually shoots really good.. 54 inch IPE backed with elk hide and hand painted.. pulls 25# at 20 inches.. fast little bow and takes no set.. I am proud of it for the youngster. he is seven and wants a longbow to hunt bears !

What could there be to make fun of. That is a great looking bow Hawk. I bet he'll bet more proud of that then anything he could have ever ordered from a pro. Congratulations. Can't wait to see pics of him hunting with it. ;)

Sweet bow.  Cant wait till my son grows up so he can shoot one like that, about 6.5 more years. ;D  Hope he has fun with it and tell him good luck on the bears.

Not much of a bowyer, huh...??? ...Great tiller!
This is a really nice bow, man, I like painted bows, and this one is very well done!
I'm sure the boy will love it!
What glue did you use to attach the backing??
