Title: "The bully"
Post by: Stringman on April 20, 2013, 03:55:25 pm

This bow has shown some serious attitude! It is osage with Bull snake skins and cherry/walnut tips above working recurves. It draws 55#@28" and feels dead quiet in the hand. Nothing but fun to shoot this speedster! Enjoy!

I've never had to deal with a knot like this. I was a little concerned that it would move on me, but I shouldn't have been.

Like the working recurves.  Great finish work and tiller.  Where did you get the bull snake?

Title: Re: "The bully"
Post by: Stringman on April 21, 2013, 01:00:18 pm

Thanks guys.

Matt I found the top half laying in the road. The bottom half I traded for. It came from a different state so the pattern is not quite perfect, but it's close enough for who it's for.
