Bow with new life.

(1/5) > >>

Pappy:
I built a bow in 2003 for an auction for a member of the club that was sick.A friend of the club bought it and has always complained about the weight.I don't usually re do one I just make another but at the Classic he ask if I would and so I decided to do it for him.He wanted 47/48 at 28in.
It was 53@26.I also added some horn tips and he is a Baggett also and the first time I meet him
someone ask me if we were kin and I told them he was from the Horse thieving Baggett's from the other side of the river and it has become a joke over the years so I added it to the bow.It turned out 48@28.Hope he likes it now.It is from Osage cut in 98.It is 65 n-n 1 5/8 to mid limb and tapered to less than 3/8 at the tips.

Pappy, sure is a beauty. I guess I am a little lost on the 5# difference at 28". Horse that I am I would probably "feel" it at 29" or so. Lucky guy.  ;D  Again a beauty of a deer slayer.

P.S. Pappy did I miss some where who won the Challenge match.  ???  Just curious. I was not entered in it. I have been touting this feature of the Classic since I got home.

You are out early,2 boys from Ala. came in 1st and 2nd and Gary Davis came in 3rd.We started 39 bows and finished 31 that were shot.I don't know how many of them shot the course,I think around 15 shot for score.It was when I started around 60 at 28 I had made it for myself to start with and only tillered it to 26 and it was 53.The guy who bought it pulls 28 so it was to heave for him.He don't hunt with a selfbow just Targets and couldn't handle it so I cut it back.It had picke up some weight over the years,matter of fact it picked up about 5/6 lbs.When I built it it was marked 53@26 and when I started it was well over that ,don't know if my scale was off when I made it in 03 or it dried out and picked up weight anyway it is where he wants it now.Hope he likes it I haven't given it to him yet.
