Title: a new one
Post by: sailordad on December 22, 2010, 10:27:51 pm
well i have been working on this bow off and on  during bow season this year
now bow season is almost finished and so is this bow
its a nice little hickory bow
63" ntn,1.75" wide at the fades up to the last twelve inches then tapers to .25" at the string grooves
it pulls 54# @ 27"
it still needs to be shot in and have the tips finished up and some of my fav finish applied,tung oil
this might be next seasons spring turkey bow or i might find a better home for it(undecided as of yet)
any hoo hers a couple of pics for ya'll to look at
thanks fer peeking  ;D

Now that's a good, durable hunting bow. All it needs is a bit of turkey blood on it to really set it off!  8)

Ken,ive been waiting to see if any would notice that  ;D
Ya the time stamp is way off.i never reset it once the battery died.
Ive actually been working on it for about three months.
Off and on between work and sitting in the woods.
