Boo backed hickory bow based on Arvin’s design.

Similarly like Simk I too have been the benefactor of getting to know Arvin and build a few bows based on his design. This bow is a tribute of sorts to the bow he sent to me and I tweaked a few things that were insignificant but added my own touches. This bow is 68.5” ttt and it pulls 50lbs at 28”. It is a heat treated hickory stave bow build backed with a boo strip. It’s about 1.3-1.4” widest point narrowing to about 3/8” or slightly less at the tips. I used Buffalo horn overlays and kept them smaller to reduce the weight. The speed I got from this bow was very good at 187fps on average at 9.2gpp. It retained about 4.5” reflex after shooting in. It’s mass is just over 600grams. I have not put a leather wrap on it yet but will do it soon. It shoots very straight and the deep shelf is near center shot. Quite happy with this bow. Here’s a few pics. Thanks for looking.
