Bamboo Backed Juniper Bow (full draw added)
« on: August 28, 2010, 05:22:57 PM »
I haven't posted a bow for a while so I figured I had better post this one. It's Boo backed juniper 62 inches long 1" 1/4 at the fades and pulls forty five pounds at 28 inches. The overlays are deer antler. It is very light in the hand i'm suprised everytime I pick it up. I forgot to take picture of it before I gave it away but I was able to get it back from the guy for a couple days. Since i gave it to him he has shot it so much he has completely worn through the rest! I glued in 2" of reflex it has kept about 1" 1/2 of it which I was happy with. I love the looks of juniper in my opinion it is one of the prettiest bow woods there is with the contrast of heartwood and sapwood.
