Sinew backed juniper Bullsnake bow

pierce_schmeichel:
Hey guys! Just finished up this new bow. It's a 40.5" ntn sinew backed juniper bow I backed with a bull snake skin.
I haven't made a juniper bow in a little while but I have got to say, it is such a nice bow wood!! Super lightweight, easy to carve, smells wonderful, takes very little set, and makes a super snappy bow when backed.

Anyway, this bow ended up tilering out to 45# @20" of draw and flings a 460 grain arrow 135fps!!

It ended up taking about an inch of set....but that's probably mostly because I got a little impatient in the drying process and started tilering it early haha. I couldn't wait any longer!! So, I expect to see a little more gains as time goes by, but regardless, I am very pleased with the results I have gotten so far.

I plan on taking it out hunting this season......but then again I plan that with pretty much every bow I make and always fall in love with the next bow haha.

Hamish:
