Title: osage recurve
Post by: BOWMAN53 on September 14, 2013, 07:21:56 pm: ok guys It's finally done!!!! thank you pearl or the wood and thank you 4dog for the skins they both worked really well together. this was my most entertaining bow ive made so far, i learned so much during this build. final specs are 62" total length 50-55# @ 27" smooth smooth draw and fast flat shooter. this bow is quiet and has no hand shock at all.
