my daughter's new Osage bow
« on: February 03, 2013, 05:53:32 pm »
This one was made from a long dead Osage branch that was maybe 1 1/2" thick in the middle.  54" ntn   20#@24" .  It shoots pretty fast for a lightweight bow. It is backed with cotton cloth from Wally world.  Not because it needed it but because my daughter is crazy for pink zebra stripe.  The tiller looks pretty funky because she learned on d-bows and always cants the bow out of habit. This is also my first attempt at a Strunk wrap.  Obviously, I haven't got that figured out yet.  My daughter liked it though, so thats what matters. Thanks for looking.  Josh

Nice bow.  Her smile says it all.

Dang, Doc!  She's got flawless form! Look at the line of the arrow and the line of her forearm.  Can you bring her up this way next time thru so she can critique my form and help me with shooting? 

Nice work on the bow, too.  No joshing!

Is she going to the Classic?

Nice job on that one Josh.  Its kind of fun to make a girly bow every now and then.  She looks pretty happy with it.

Josh, that's a real fine job there.....that tiller is perfect and that's hard to do on the lower weight bows for sure......the color and all is what she likes, ya got to love that.

Wow, Josh! Now that's a happy, looking, little girl. That bow looks perfect.
