Osage Static Recurve
« on: September 17, 2015, 08:00:01 pm »
Howdy, gang.  Here's a bow I built back in March of last year but never got around to posting.  It's a year and a half old but is stored in my bow locker at the range, so it hasn't seen much sunlight.  I thought it should at least get its picture taken.  Here's the particulars:

-Osage with rosewood, padauk, and stabilized curly maple brush nocks
-40#@28"
-63.5" NTN
-Pyramidal limbs that taper from 1.5" at the fades to .5" at the tips
-2" of static reflex
-Tri-tone camo stain back treatment
-Frosted lacquer finish

Thanks for looking!

So many things to like! So will just start with . . . back treatment is super!

  Beautiful job on that bow all the way around. I don't care for the use of modern arrow rests on primitive bows but she is still a beauty in all respects.

Man, that sure is a pretty bow, and some really pretty nocks! Beautiful bend too. Did you buy that rest, or did you kinda rig it or make one from a normal stick on rest?

OH man, that's a beauty.  Glad it's out of the locker and enjoying the light of day.  That's a fine bit of craftsmanship.  Shoot that sweetie!

Took me a minute to catch on to what your were saying Eddie "plastic"......................"modern arrow rest"....I agree....  :) ;) I've actually have one of those on my bear whitetail II compound back when I was shooting fingers and one pin on my combound.
