Title: Pearl Drop
Post by: mullet on August 16, 2015, 12:02:54 pm

It's been a while since I've posted a bow, even though I've made few in the last couple of years. But this Osage came out kinda pretty so I thought I'd share.

I got this 'sage from Matt Mirwikki at the Classic this year in a trade and the copperhead skins came from my Buddy, Shannon Walker. The name came from the little, dangly, pearl that was just forming in some Abalone shell I cut up, thought it was cool looking.

 The bow is 62" nock to nock, 51# @28", with Zebra wood overlays. I'm hoping to use it in some Tennessee woods this year.

Thanks, guys. It's a dream to shoot. If anybody can figure out how to flip the pictures around feel free to do it. I haven't figured out Microsoft 10, yet.

Whoa baby, when that Osage darkens, it's going to look excellent with those skins.  I like it.  That bow may cause deer to have cardiac arrest ;-)

Sweet bow, Eddie.
I like the profiles - the unbraced looks full of strength and the f/d looks like a mollie. I bet she is very fast.
