Osage Bow For Trade

(1/3) > >>

NorthernArcher:
I have an osage longbow that I would like to trade.  The bow was made for me by Damon Kent about five years ago, and is an excellent shooter.  The past three years I haven't been able to do as much shooting as I used to, so the 60# draw is a bit much for me now.  I would like to trade it for a similar bow with a 50# draw weight.


68"ntn
60#@28"


Snake Skin Backed (diamondback)

Some Character in the bow, particularly in the lower limb.
Straight handle, leather wrapped.
Upper limb tip is slightly twisted (was that way when I got the bow) but it has never posed a problem.
Excellent shooter!

I also have a few arrows that I am willing to include with the bow.
Primitive shafts (unknown hardwood shoot), 3 wild turkey fletch (12cm) with field tips & 2 orange flu-flu's with ACE Hex Blunts, self nocks, 29", would make excellent large game hunting arrows.

Please email or PM me with questions/offers.

Thanks,

NorthernArcher

I have a bow that Damon made me many years ago in my collection. Damon makes(made) very good bows. I don't need another but thought I throw in my testimonial.  ;)

NorthernArcher:
Thanks, Pat.  It is a good bow.  I shot it extensively for about two years, then sporadically for the past three.  Excellent bow, just too heavy for me now.

John K:
Could you re tiller to your weight  ? Seems like a nice bow, might as well take a few pounds off and keep it...

NorthernArcher:
I considered retillering, but wasn't sure if it would work.  Is it really as simple as shaving a little off the belly to lower the draw weight, or are there other factors to consider given that the bow has already been in use for about five years?
