After my trade bow was sent out, nothing in my arsenal felt like it added up to the one I sent out, so I decided I needed to get another one going asap. This one is red oak 66 ¼“ N2N. 50#@ 25” Maple/bamboo tip and handle overlays. Buffalo leather grip and embedded 303 shell in the handle. FF String w/rabbit fur silencers. Started out life as a solid oak handrail, but was meant for something more. Definitely my best shooter at present. Any suggestions on a name? Leaning toward “303” but I’m open to ideas.

Thanks for looking!

Nice one!
Those tips looks really elegant,nice work!
-
Just goes to show what one can do with a Handrail......... ;D Good job
-
Thanks guys! :laugh:
-
That's sweet ;)

Cool! The inletted case head looks nice! If it was an elb, .303 British would be fitting. However with an elb you would have to use it for a strike plate. Sweet bow nonetheless! Josh

You could call it 303 hand rail ::) not sure what else you would call it,
-
Gorgeous. I love the way red oak finishes up.
-
Give me a call . We'll bring it out shooting and come up with a name.
-
Thats a sharp looking bow, nice work.
-
That is one sweet bow. Love the little details, the nocks and the inlaid shell. Well done
-
Beautiful bow!
I love the matching handle and tips.

I'm liking everything about this bow. Tips, tiller, riser combo. The unbraced profile really caught my eye for some reason. Fine craftsmanship! Makes me want to get off my butt and make a red oak bow. Thanks for sharing.

Nice tiller and finish, gotta love that inlay! 303. I'm guessing that's a British Caliber from Gun Doc's comment. If it shoots good it shoots good, and if it looks good too, well then gall darn :) Well done sirs
-
Great unbraced, great tiller, nice finish. What else do you need 8)
-
Nice job with that handrail. The cartridge is a nice touch, too!
-
beautiful tips on there!
-
Thank you for the wonderful comments everyone. Yes, it is a 303 British Shell cartridge.
Cheers!

I think we have a winner! Thanks Raghorns, and also everyone else for their great suggestions. "One in the chamber " was a close second.

J-Lo, you captured the spirit of the Primitive Archery Magazine Forum Bow Trade perfectly! Doing your all-in best effort, and sending it out with your heartfelt good wishes. Good on you!
Looks like you paid yourself back with the good karma you generated. Nice bow. Very nice indeed.
