Python bow.
« on: April 18, 2021, 02:17:45 pm »
Hi!Something to show You again :). This is bamboo backed osage bow covered with king python skin. My frend has minizoo and sometimes some snakes will die and I can get them from him. They don't live forever :). Pulls 42@27. Not so fast as my last one but I'm happy with this 167f/sec with 490gr arrow :). Baffalo horn tips and fox hide silencers. FF bowstring 8 strands. It was a very bad stave. Probably had a very big side branch by the handle. Horrible propeller twist and a big deflex ower the all stave. The only chance I had was to make upper limb with cross grain and to back the bow with bamboo. The result is very pretty and she is a good target shooter :).

Really like that braced profile. Your finish work is excellent too. Very nice bow.

Beautiful bow!  I really like the handle and it’s got a great bend.
