Title: "Guestbow" No.2
Post by: dbb on December 21, 2013, 10:43:35 am
This is the second bow i built to have something for friends to shoot when they visit
European black Cherry (Prunus padus) 66" ntn 39#@ 29" Makes it light enough for the ladies to shoot at shorter draw.
Cumaro nock overlays,horn shelf and arrowpass.
The handle is raindeer (Happy christmas rudolph  >:D )with a cord wrapped under for griplocation.No finish yet and i might just oil it.

Very Nice!  And I love the narrow tips!  What do you have growing in the tank behind you?

Thanks guys for the kind words  :) Im pleased with it myself,made it to targetweight and besides a couple of pinknots in the mid upper limb that made it twist a little it went as planned.
It shoots snappy and accuratly with a very smooth draw and zero handshock so technicaly it is my best so far.

That's a finely built bow. I really like the narrow tips and full draw profile.
