osage outlaw:
Very nice work!
BowEd:
Thanks Clint.It's one of those bows where the majority of the work is done before tillering.Not everybodies cup of tea but the rewards are pretty good.Always fun to make a bow in anticipation of the hunting season coming up.Only thing to do yet is make some killer arrows for hunting season.
bjrogg:
That is one sweet looking bow Ed. I just love those profiles, they look Awesome. I wish you the best refilling your freezer and restocking your rawhide and sinew supplies.

BowEd:
I sure wish you the best too BJ during hunting season coming up here.It's good to associate with people that use practically all the parts of the deer for a useful purpose.The deer population looks good here so far.Provided the deer don't get bit by that fly around these water holes during our drought here.It gives the deer a disease called blue tongue.It's nondiscriminatory and kills large adult deer.Time will tell to show it.In 2012 summer drought it hit the deer pretty hard in some counties in Iowa.
The bow I made here is just for that mainly.HUNTING.I wanted something with exceptional cast that was smaller,durable, & resilient for many years down the road besides impressing the FG boys at the shoots.The profiles can be accomplished with wood only BJ but at this length to get the stored energy to hold through the years of use and shots sinew and horn hold up better keeping early weight draw poundage and don't break down so much as wood only keeping it resilient.
BowEd:
For those skeptical of humidity on sinewed bows.I carried this bow to Mo Jam 3 days this year.Hot and high humidity.An inch of rain fell saturday night too keeping it very humid.I saw no reduction in poundage/cast or reflex.With 10.5" of reflex on the bow that would of shown something you'd think.
