" Sorry Peachie" lots of pictures
« on: March 18, 2017, 08:56:32 pm »
This bow started out as the second bow I was going to make my daughter in law. She had a FG recurve when she was a kid in 4-H. Now she is a 4-H leader.  When you ask her how she is doing she always says "just peachie". So we nicknamed her peachie. Unfortunately for her this one came in a very nice shooting 64 lbs@ my 25" draw. "Sorry Peachie" I gotta keep this one I'll make you another.
HHB 64" ntn western diamond backs I got from benefit auction at Marshall. Thanks Matt for donating them. 6 strands of d-97 my first bow with them and still looks scary thin to me. Love the way this one shoots seems really fast. It was from a very nice stave. Bloodwood tip overlays. Naked handle no shelf. I've been working on shooting left and right handed. I've kinda got to like no shelf.
       Don't worry Peachie will get her bow that one will get posted soon. Thanks for looking

Thanks Clint and sure glad I got them. One thing I can't find around here.
Thanks selfbow is really a nice shooter I just couldn't take her down to 45 or 50 lbs she's holding her shape  so good
DuBois she will forgive me when she sees the one I just finished for her.

Now that's a stunner bj. I love the handle section and the way the fades just flow out into the limbs. The finish looks awesome to. Side profile says something like, "come on, just string me and let me show you what I can do"  (SH)

Very nice. Man, 10 strands of D97 is already very thin for me.

Thanks Ed, I keep trying to improve.
Thanks upstate this one feels so different. It just has so much early string tension but a super smooth draw.
Thanks helmet
Loon I think it was on a thread from wizard goat that he said he used six strands of d97. I padded loop wit two extra b57. This just seems ridiculous. I guess I was wrong wasn't Wizard can't remember where I read that. Sorry Wizardgoat
