Title: JW's Burlington brothers bow by iowbow
Post by: iowabow on March 02, 2013, 08:13:52 pm: JW's bow is 62" tip to tip. It pulls 56 lbs. at26". Has 6" levered tips & is a very fine, sweet shooting bow. I hope he will enjoy shooting it as much as we have today.

I was thinking it had more reflex than that. I guess we did put a lot of arrows through it today though. Beautifully done John! JW will probably wet himself when he sees this. Josh

Post by: JW_Halverson on March 04, 2013, 10:06:55 pm: If you post pics I am gonna go outa my mind until I get my grubby paws on it. Best you just drop the whole thread.

Tell you what, I'll take a little time out and come get it in early May, whatdya say? It'll save you the shipping cost!

Aw crap, just realized I am gonna have to make some arrows for it, now. Ok, gonna have to order some shafts and have 'em ready. I'll take 'em along to the Classic to bare shaft test them until they shoot straight and finish 'em there!

Title: Re: JW's Burlington brothers bow by iowbow
Post by: sleek on March 17, 2013, 09:36:13 pm: And look here children, this is the part of the plant where the bow grows, in its little bow pod that is made of hard wood. It takes sharp tools, but once you cut away the bow pod, there is a nice shiny new bow inside.
