I have a lady friend that told me a story about when she meet her husband, he was a good archer and she was shooting a selfbow, many years ago. She said he told her that she would never be able to shoot one of them things well so she went to a
Glass long bow and re curve. I decided to surprise her with one I think she will be able to shoot as well as she does the glass, we will see in Jan. when I give it to her.R/D Osage 62 n-n 37@261/2, I done a little watching and asking to figure just what draw length and weight she liked. ;) :) Deer antler overlays and Rat snake skin, Beaver tail grip. Hope she likes it. ;)

It's a beauty.
The beaver tail is it tanned or rawhide?

Dang Pappy I think you kinda made that one a little special. Very nice profiles I can't imagine her ever picking up her glass bow again. 😊

Nice - That's a looker fore sure :BB :OK Bob

Thanks guys much appreciated, the tail was raw hide Trapper Rob. I also made her a dozen arrows that shoot well out of it and a side quiver. Her draw is about the same as mine so made the arrow tuning very easy for me. ;) :) :) The RD profile makes for a very smooth drawing bow and preform very well, it has become one of my favorite styles. ;)

Great looking bow Pappy. Sweet profile - a bow like that will shoot better than a lot of FG recurves. Really nice work.

Hey Pappy just wondering did you get a chance to give it to her yet? Boy would I like to be there when you do.
-
No plan on it in Jan. at Kalamazoo. ;) Never been before and thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone. ;)

Nice one Pappy. No doubt she will love it

Thanks Marc, I think she will. Even though she shoots glass bows and has for a long while she seem to have a real strong leaning toward all wood bows, we will see. :-\

Very nice bow Pappy! Love the backing and the handle. What is the strike plate made of?

Brain leather Philipp. Pappy

Nice bow Pappy. They live just down the road a mile. I won't say a word. I am sure she will love it.
-
If that bow doesn’t convert her to an all wood bow, nothing will. Nice looking bow Pappy.

Thanks guys, Please don't Ryan, I should have blotted out the name when I posted it, ??? I forgot to do that and how wide the net spreads sometimes. ;) :) I guess a good rule is never post anything you don't want the world to know. ;) :)
