Title: one for my nephew
Post by: BOWMAN53 on July 04, 2013, 05:47:28 pm

Its a little late but this is a birthday present for my nephew. Its hickory flatbow with siyahs added on, not sure what kind of bow that makes this. 30#@20" skin is rat snake that i got from Erik. I used a 45 bullet casing (already struck primer) as an arrow shelf. Pic of full draw is before the finish was put on.

Thanks guys, this was my first time using siyahs, snake skin and a bullet casing as a shelf.

And on a side note, sweaty hands work great at removing the scales on snake skin lol.
