Title: turkey blind bow
Post by: ohma2 on April 03, 2014, 12:00:41 PM

gave this bow to a friend that wanted a bow to hunt turkeys from his blind. its sinew backed osage with a shed blacksnake hide.rosewood tips, bison underlays, and a simple leather built up wrap that is ugly but very comfortable to both of us.54" 47# @ 26" hope he does well cause I like fried turkey chunks.

I really like that bow, especially the tiller.

Regarding your built up handle, I always go with form and function over beauty. If you think that handle is ugly you should see some of mine!
