Osage orange grows in the Carpathian basin and in the USA. Austro Hungarian empire imported it in the 19th century and in territories that were under AH Empire, Osage is found mostly in botanical gardens. In Hungary it grows by itself but for example in Balkans Osage was sometimes used as poles for fence around military bases, which they of course imported from Hungary. I found only osage in my town. It is in yard of middle school that deals with forestry and I never found time to pick some of its fruit in order to plant seeds around the house.
Badger:
Slightly heavy in mass but I think very well designed. The low amount of set trumps and slight extra mass easily. Good job.
JNystrom:
Thanks guys.
I actually will touch up the tiller a little bit, right limb is a bit too stiff. The slight deflex is natural on the right limb. And one thing i should start doing is keeping my bows in a regular place in the tiller tree. My previous method has been - just adjust the bow in the tiller so it bends nicely and then when you shoot you will find which limb is top, which is bottom. So i don't care where is the nocking point. Maybe i should...
Mounter:
