Title: First osage short bow
Post by: Pat1107 on August 04, 2013, 03:49:56 pm

Hi all here is a few images of my new osage bow! I call it my survival bow! It is 48" long, and i dont know the poundage as i have no scale! Its not pretty but it works and that is good enough for me!

Thats a pretty good first bow! A lot of bend that's for sure. Shoot the snot out of it, and make another!

Im up for any info that helps me get better! I know that the tillering is no where near perfection, and it does have alot of bending but i was wanting to get close to my draw length with a short bow!
