A few new bows we built

<< < (2/8) > >>

DanaM:
Welcome back. some real nice looking bows, and impressive speeds.

Sabanim:
Hey guys

The 189fps isn't a self bow. It's bamboo backed Ipe and we put some Python skins on it to "dress it up".
It's one of the fastest bows I've ever built.

Two of the bows in the picture are self bows and the other three are bamboo backed.

I'll add some more pictures of the others.

Sabanim:
Here is a full draw photo of the Boo backed Epe
It's not the best angle so I'll have to try to get a better picture sometime

Sabanim:
Here is the Osage self bow in the first picture. It's still unfinshed here but pretty close to done.
It's 70" NTN and 45# @ 28", and it's 1-1/8" inch wide and tapers to 3/8" tips. You can see the tips are naturally slightly recurved if you look close.
 It has a little bit of character to it and ALOT of knots. It's a pretty smooth shooter for a D bow. I haven't shot it through the chrono yet so I'm not sure of the arrow speed but I think it will definitly be good enough to hunt with.
