I finally finished this one up for my wife over the weekend. I roughed it down to a bow blank last oct. to let it cure n season faster as it was cut in august last year. Shes just a target shooter and will never hunt,so i made her a dandy target bow for her. Its a black locust andaman-holmgaard,63" ntn(as tall as she is ;) )..30@24",weighs only 12.4 ounces,purpleheart over osage tip overlays,stitched leather handle wrap,its mildly snakey and she wanted it au natural with no skins or dye jobys,and it has 3 1/2" of reflex at rest,1.3" at the fades to 3/4" where the working limbs end and almost 1/4" tips. Its fun to shoot and surprisingly quick for a 30 pounder,and shoots well for her accuracy wise. anyways ill let the pics do the rest of the talking....
