So I know we don't like glass O:) but man I had to share my new score. Morrison 58" Dakota. Copper head skins under glass. Now we just need to melt some snow so I can shoot it :'(
-
That's a fine weapon and Morrison bows are top shelf. For the record I love glass bows to. If it spits an arrow slow enough for me to admire in flight, I like it.
-
Yeah, Im starting to collect em. My retirement fund I told the wife >:D I got rid of my 53 grizzly. But this thing is slick. So I'm not too heart broken. I got a crooked stick short bow (56")in a trade a little while ago. Something about the hybrids. I love em. I plan on making a bbo hybrid style hopefully this year
-
Nice looking bow.
-
Bob, makes some good bows doesn't he!
Congrats on the nice score!
If ya ever find a 58 grizzly let me know...that's the bow that's eluded me for years!
-
I don't have any glass bows.. Oh wait, maybe one.. Well two, ok three:)
-
Nah... nothing wrong in my book with a F/G bow. I have a Chekmate Crusader take-down which is a work of art... antler tip overlays, a unique take-down system in the handle, and beautiful wood under clear glass. I also have a 50s vintage Bear static recurve which I totally admire. When I first started making bows, I made some R/D fiberglass bows. I don't anymore because I didn't enjoy the process, but they were fine bows. I still have the last one I made and will likely keep it.

Black coyote, there's a lot of Facebook geoups I'm in that are like classified ads. I'll let ya know if one pops up
-
Nice bow.
-
Yah Bruce, why? Is it because we tend to have fun with the fiberglass word on this site for obvious reasons? Is that why Bruce? Or, is it because your a rude, young punk trying to piss off older gentleman? Id bet on the latter.
-
Sorry Eric, I'll change it if it bugs ya that much. Pearly said it O:)
-
Nice bow man, I saw it on FB earlier, lol... Blackcoyote, Mullet has atleast 2 of those 58's... I know cuz I sold them to him, lol 8).... Brian
-
I don't hate. Confession time - I have three fg bows hanging on the rack at home. That one looks like a honey to me.
-
Nice looking bow. I like em too! In fact, I am just ready to put the finish on the second one I built. Here is a pic of the first one I made last summer and the deer I shot with it in September. The riser is made of osage that I cut down and planed out - the fg, well I had to buy that! :laugh:
-
speaking of glass bows.. if you were to make a bow and back it with glass drywall tape, would you still consider that a primitive bow?
-
That bow,, I already saw it. ;D Look's like a sweet shooter. I don't know how someone could get caught up with that Glass bow faze?

NO!
-
Not to mention fg tape doesnt do much. It mostly keeps splinters out your eye when it blows up. The glue on it isnt enough to make the glass work.
-
well not exactly. i layed it on and epoxied it. no that tape glue barely holds on anything XD. put it on a bamboo flooring bow. kept it together anyways XD
-
Not to hijack but a thread with pics of that bow would be nice.keep it around the campfire though.
-
which bow? if of the one i made i made it for a little lady right after the movie Brave came out. it may have been twenty pounds if that. i cant remember the dimentions any more, and of course i took no pictures
-
Nice Bow ! I'm with Pearly on this - Selfbows or Fiberglass backed Longbow or Recurves - I love 'Em all. I like shootin' them, lookin' at them. I always say My favorite Bow is the one that happens to be in My hands at the moment. Bob
-
Beauty of a bow, don't shoot them much anymore but still got 20 or so and still love them. :)

Drew, wished I would have known on the 58 grizzly. Sold one at Kalamazoo for $60.00 two weekends ago. I didn't want to haul it back home.
I was given two old black widows last week. A long time friend died and his daughter wanted me to have them as my dad sold them to her father back in the 60's. The target model, "The ghost" needs a tip repair but the hunting bow is probably the fastest bow I have ever shot.
But I would rather hunt with my osage!!

Damn the ONLY year I don't make it to KZoo too!!! They just taunt me I swear!
-
It really doesn't look too goo, i did it on a few waaaaaay back and painted them to make it look better, not primitive to me though use silk or linen, burlap has a real primitive look and has been around forever

What r u talking about bubby? I'm lost

Probably about glass tape.
-
Nice bow. I don't like or dislike them. They just don't hold any interest for me. I have a takedown recurve that I got in trade from Steve Quinton a few years ago. It a beauty and fast but I just never shoot it.
-
Thanks sleek. Lol
