I hope you guys like it ... this one was hard to get straight , i have no power tools ether so antlers were tuff lol . Its a super fast and deadly acurate shooter though and next year i hope to drop an ELK with her. I was thinking of entering it in the bom contest but ... idk . I have seen ALOT prettier bows on here lately :)

I almost forgot this little knot fill i did on the upper limb ! Its green colored pencil shaved into powder and mixed with 2 part epoxy I did it in this color because it was Saint Patrick's Day I was working the limbs down and I plucked out a small pin Knot and I decided to fill it with epoxy and color it green for Saint Patrick's Day :-)

Nice looking bow Jessi! Keep up the good work. The green is a nice little touch of color. Kinda a cool idea with the colored pencil dust.
Tattoo Dave.

Thanks tattoo dave !
-
Nice lookin bow Jesse. Got some decent weight out of that
-
Heres the alignment of the string tip to tip this took some manipulating this much I promise :-)
-
I like it. Looks like a fun shooter.

thank you man, I made it heavy on purpose because usually I find at least with English longbows when I work with Yew it tends to take some set and I guess you could say it breaks in a little bit and loses a few pounds so in case it does that I want to end up with at least a 60 to 65 pound bo I want to use it to take Elk with
-
Looks good, hope you get a chance on a elk this fall, I'd say that bow will get the job done easily.
-
Nice bow man! Where do you plan on hunting for elk?
-
Yew did good ! Nice Bow - two thumbs up- Bob.
-

Oh my gosh that is a thing of deadly beauty to be sure (to be sure!)
Fantastic work all round Jesse! :D
-
Jesse, that is some really nice work you have done there. Very nice work with that yew. You are right about yew settling in a bit. Keep up the great work!
-
Nice work sir!
-
Jesse,

It looks really nice. I really like the look of that Yew. If you try for BOM, can you post some FD pictures with the bow straight up and down? It is a little difficult to judge the tiller with it tilted.
-
Great work man. Hope it happens this fall for ya.
-
Nice bow! Good work!

thank you guys SO much for all the compliments! I've never went out for a bowl of the month before that's the only reason I was asking you guys I've never even submitted a picture so I don't even know how to but if its a pain in the butt to do I'm really not that worried about it anyways but thank you guys SO much for all of the compliments and I will try to get a post up here or should I say a picture up today of this Bo that is a straight on shot of me pulling it to full draw I had my 8 year old daughter taking those pictures and number one I tend to tilt the bow when I shoot it and number 2 she is much shorter than me so she was taking all the pictures up at an angle anyways as always thank you guys SO much for showing all the support and love and have a good time making bows my friends
-
Looks like a sweet shooter. If you can hit groups like that with it then it's a keeper in my book.
-
I'd like to see that bow in the BOM pages of my favorite magazine!
-
Wow! Anytime I see a bow that just defies everything I can imagine, wow is all I can say.
-
Wow. Thank you guys sooo much. I think im gonna enter it in this coming bom contest . Ill look into how to doing it today :)
