Nice curves, Randman!


Sorry yours got wet, Gaur, but at least you found it! :laugh:
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

    I guess I was too excited to mention who made this beauty. THANK YOU RBLusthaus! This baby and I are going to spend some time harrassing deer, bear and the odd grouse in a couple months. Thanks again, Russ, I love it.

You are very welcome and it was my pleasure.  Please send me a pic or two of your first "catch". 

I really enjoyed this Trade.  Will the forum be doing another one for Christmas?

I recieved my trade bow today from Country...It's a sinew and rawhide backed Osage Shortbow with flipped tips and some pretty fancy artwork on the rawhide back..It draws 60#@26" I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet with the high humidity here in PA...I wish I had someone around to take some pics.... Thanks buddy

Just in time. Took my time getting started then broke #1. Got this one done though. Just under 60" ntn. True d bow. Pulls in the mid 40# range at 27". Had to work around a few knots. Rocky Mt juniper with elk sinew back, backed with lingcod skin. Sending it out tomorrow
