Title: First osage bow.
Post by: Scottski on August 31, 2014, 09:33:57 pm

Ok guys this is my first osage bow, also first from billits and first time I have put on snake skins. It is 55# @28" too much for me to shoot all the time. I might bring it down some. Tiller is not all that great, but shoots good and hard. I got thes billits in a trade with pearl drums. So please take it easy on me please lol it's my first in a few things. I called it Snake eyes did a lil something different. It has a head and fangs also a rattler lol! Hope you guys like it.

That's some unique execution on the nocks!
That bow looks a bit long?

70"  total after all it my first osage and I didn't want it too short and mess things up. Maybe shorter as I get better at building.

Very nice, it certainly looks the part.  Does it have any hand shock because of the unique nocks.

Yes a lil hand shock. Not to bad but you can feel it. I thought I would have more but I got lucky.
