Title: Simple as it gets Osage "D" bow
Post by: Joec123able on June 21, 2013, 06:07:12 pm: Simple Osage D bow 61 inchs long pulling just over 55# at 26 and pushing 60 at 27. This bow was probably the easiest bow I've ever made it has some pretty tight rings but caused me no problems chasing the back ring. I left a few tool marks in it The tiller isn't perfect but half the bow is perfectly straight and the half has got a reflex deflex thing to it so keep that in mind I love these bend in the handle bow there so fun I don't shoot any of my other bows now lol

I think to some people they aren't appealing at first sight due to how simple they look but to me they've always appealed this is only my second D style bow and I'm glad I made it you really get a nice feeling shooting something so simple
