Title: OJAM Bow
Post by: JonW on March 22, 2011, 05:17:32 pm

Here is one of the bows I worked on at OJAM this year. It is the only one I got finished though. Anyway.......

Specs
    62" TTT
    60# @ 26"
     13 1/2" working limb
      12" levers
     2" wide limbs

This was a Hackberry stave I had and the fifth bow I've made from this tree. I really like working with Hackberry. Now for the pics.

Looks good Jon. I should have shot it when we were there. I am gonna have to try some hackberry. It grows all over the place and is pipe straight. After seeing what you did with it, I can't ignore it any longer. It was nice meeting you in person.  See ya next year.   Danny

Thanx for the compliments guys. I like those Molly bows alot they are a little more time consuming to make with the extra set of fades and all, but they shoot real nice! I got one going out of Osage also.

Danny it was a pleasure meeting you as well. I will definately be there next year!!
