Hickory back-up

Kegan:
Well, with season and school just around the corner, I needed to get a decent back up bow made as to avoid last year's fiasco. So here it is- plain and simple. A 64" hickory D bow (my first working full-sizer) with flipped up ears and a natural walnut/charcoal stain. It is about 55# at 28" and is as smooth as butter to draw. It shoots right where you want and is silent. It has very little if any handshock and it practically tillered itself. I heat treated the belly, but I think I'll give it a few more treatments to add some weight too it. Pardon the full drw pic- my hand was too far off center on the string- the tiller is actually better than that. BUt i think I have fallen in love with these simple D bows :)

Looks nice Kegan, you should be set for season now.

Justin Snyder:
I think you are ready to hunt.  It might bend just a little to much in the handle area.  Justin

What a treat this a.m. to look at a bunch of truly primitive stick bows. Got your well-tillered bow bookmarked for July Self Bow of the Month.  Thanks for the post.
