Title: Lil Tri Lam Sweety(boo,walnut,yew)
Post by: blackhawk on February 11, 2013, 07:13:05 pm
About time I post this one  ::) It was one of the four bows I made over the holidays(and imo the best one)...sorry it took me so long to post the last one,n hopefully it was worth the wait. This is a bamboo backed yew with a walnut core sandwiched in between. Its 50@26"...57"ntn....only weighs 9.6 ounces(a joy to hold and carry)....ELB cross section that adheres to the 5/8 rule....its only .979" wide,thats a couple human hairs less than an inch wide..horn tip overlays..and its a sweety to shoot....this one knocked my socks off when I started shooting it. hope yall enjoy

I got to see it in person, the pics arent doing it any favors, no offense hawkey poo. Its a gorgeous bow and the best all around you have made in my opinion. Its the lightest bow Ive ever handled. Crazy lightweight. Perfect glue lines, great combo of power, speed and lightweight. Ill trade ya'.....

That is sharp.  That reminds me of that little one you had at the classic last year.

Blackhawk is the champ at skinny tips.

Real nice bow you made there Chris.  I've been wanting to try a bamboo/yew combo myself.  Bet it really launches an arrow.

The combo all looks so good together. Beautiful bow.

PERFECT!  I've been wanting to start messing with some boo. Maybe you can bring that thing to the classic. I'd love to throw just one arrow with that thing.
