Title: First recurve?
Post by: Scottski on January 06, 2014, 10:16:49 pm

Well here she is hickory 62" ntn she pulls 55 # at 28. Osage tips and some osage strips on the back of curves and handle. Fake snake pattern on back with a sew on leather handle. Also made my string. Hope it is worthy of this page. Afraid to post but here goes nothing.

Nothing to be afraid of here. That's a great looking bow, wouldn't have guessed it was your first.

Not sure why, but that bow looks to me to be longer than 62 inches.  I guess you got all of it bending.  Looks good to me.  Congrats!!!!
