As most of you know I made a bow to give to My good friend Gary Davis at the Classic,unknowing
to me he was making me one,When I gave him his he said o Ya I have a little something for you also.
He pulled out this sweet little bow.He don't do the net so I told him I would post it for him.Very
nice bow and I plan to hunt with it a lot this upcoming season.Thanks to GregB for the pictures.
[He is our resident photografer] :) The bow is 52 n-n Osage ,3 layers of sinew and 51@26 ,just right
for me.Here are some pictures. :)

Thats what I like! Great job Pappy!
-
wow, thats some smooth looking sinew. Nice friend to do that for ya.

Looks like a snappy little shooter with a big punch at the end. Great act of kindness. I met Gary in Kalamazoo years ago and he handed both of my kids the rattles off of some of his skins and they still have them today and will tell you all about him. I can hear that creek now and I'm getting a little sleepy... :D

That will be a fun hunting bow! You'll let me draw and shoot it, won't you? ;) ;) ;D

I missed this post first time through..huh. Sweet looking bow Pappy. Interesting arrow rest design, is it wrapped sinew or cord under the leather? Good luck hunting with it.
-
No Aosda,it has a short leather rap at the top down covering the striker plate then a regular leather grip on top of that to cover the handle.Works pretty good. Bear only if you half draw
it. ;) ;D ;D Thanks all. :)
