Started this little Hickory bow at Pappys this spring with the intention of giving it to some kids at the Classic, well I never got it beyond floor tiller,
kept getting sidetracked donchano eh :) Anywhos I finally finished it up and its going to Nugget down der in N. Carolina, guess he has some kids he works with
and could use a few more bows. TJ I hope this suits your needs and I will ship it as soon as I have some more money, I spent my shipping allowance already this week
so it will be a few more weeks. No full draw picture TJ can post that when he gets it :)
Da Facts Eh:
Hickory pyramid, 57.5" NTN 35#@24" Cow horn tip overlays and dual arrow rests, cordage handle wrap set in massey finish,
dye job is the scrunched up bag method :)

That is a nice one Dana. Thanks a bunch for the bow. I met three kids at my last get together that are wanting bows bad. This will work just perfectly for one of them. As soon as I gat a chance I am gonna get a couple done so I can give them all one at the same time. The kids went crazy at my house wanting to shoot and knap. I know they will greatly appreciate this bow. I will have my kids draw it when it arrives and post pics.
Once again thanks Dana.
