Post by: Jim Davis on September 12, 2014, 02:24:18 pm: So Renac ........... is that a 35" arrow, or don't we get a photo at 28" draw. >:D
Title: Re: osage selfbow.
Post by: Renacs on September 12, 2014, 05:23:39 pm: I do use full length arrows, but that bow was made for a fifteen year old who is still growning so I tiller it out to 28" for future. He now has the bow so I don't have any more full draw pic.
