New BBI
« on: March 12, 2012, 12:45:58 am »
It's been awhile since I posted a bow..So it's about time..Here she is a really skinny BBI I named EL Flaco( Spanish for the skinny one) The bow is 66 tip to tip,pulls 60#@26. And is a little under 1 inch wide at the handle fading to 3/8 ( Osage) tips.I glued on some prairie rattler skins and added a floppy rest and a full grip wrap. The bow shoots really accurate and fast. It was shooting my heavy bamboo arrows a little over 200  yards. It was a great day to be out shooting here in Pa..Thanks for the great pics PAHunter, I had a blast

That's a nice bow and sounds like it sends an arrow far out there.
