Osage recurve with copperheads

(1/3) > >>

Kidder:
Here is a bow I finished up a couple months ago. It’s around 63” TTT and approximately 1 5/8” wide at its widest. It draws 60# at 28”. The tips were flipped with dry heat. It’s got enough snake to be interesting, yet achievable. The string alignment was interesting - the tips were significantly off in opposite directions but the end result was that the nocking point is near center shot and the string moves away from the wrist at the handle. The stave came from someone in Lewiston ID who used to work with Clay Hayes - he got it from him but never ponied up and built a bow. The handle wrap is buckskin from a Manitoba whitetail my dad harvested when I was a kid. And the copperheads came from Texas in a trade with backwoodsguy. Love this bow - it’s my new go to hunting bow and is a great shooter. My best to date.
