2023 bow trade - BUILD IN PROGRESS

<< < (11/16) > >>

Kidder:
Almost done! Shooting great. Shot it through my chrono. Consistently in around 165 fps pulling 27-28” (whatever I can pull) with heavy hunting arrows (29 inch Easton xx75 2016 and a 175 gr tip). Not amazing but acceptable.

superdav95:
Love the black finish on that one.  Can’t wait to see more of it.  Decent numbers too

Kidder:
Well I managed to get my trade bow finished. It’s a 68” NTN bamboo backed yew. Pulls 50# at 29”. It’s got a 10-11” powerlam of I believe che Chen. Bamboo is dyed with a single light black coat that appears to have a slightly greenish hue. Tips are mammoth tusk over Buffalo horn. String is 8 strands of d97 with fisher fur silencers. Leather grip. Finish is 3 coats of tungoil finish. I hope my recipient likes it and that it lasts a long time.

 Nice bow, Kidder. I'm sure your recipient will love it. Very well done. I especially like the finish work and tip overlays.

superdav95:
Looks fantastic kidder!   Love the look of this one.  Tiller looks spot on too!   Well done.
