Title: juniper paddle bow from lofflerchuck
Post by: hammertime on May 01, 2015, 09:55:32 pm

Hi all, thought I would share a bow I received from Chuck Loffler. I always wanted this style of bow and I think Chuck makes a sweet bow! This one is sinew backed, 60 # at 26",54" long. I did  the paint job to give it a special touch(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/jeffreyakolste/juniper%20b_zpslubiwbsv.jpg)]Thanks for looking-Hammertime

I would love more info on the design. It looks like it would work for a sassafras bow I am struggling with. Side profile of handle and tips, unstrung would help. Does Chuck post here? I could pic his brain some.

I have a Cheyenne sinew backed hickory bow from Chuck. I love it. I'm still trying to get my left arm up good again to shoot it.
Had a second tumor removed from under my left arm in February. I have to say he has inspired me  to build better.
