Sharp looking bow.  I like the power lam in the handle area, never have gotten around to doing one of those.  I've only put them on the belly side of the handle.

You scare me with the amount of work you did on those boo nodes.

Thanks for the comments,

First of all Sorry my English is not the best... but i am still on learning  ;)

I have the nodes slightly grinded, is it a problem?

A full draw pic follow soon.

That's a fine looking BBO bow and your first. I take the nodes down that much on my Bamboo backed bows so it shouldn't be a problem

Great looking bow and cool picture of it bent at different levels in one photo.  Not sure how you did that but it's nice.

Where in Austria do you live Rusty?

Title: Re: BBO first backed bow
Post by: Rusty on April 02, 2008, 06:42:12 pm

Gordon,

in the East of Styria, near Graz (about 50km)

Title: Re: BBO first backed bow
Post by: Eric Krewson on April 03, 2008, 12:48:52 pm

Very nice! The only advice I would give for this very well made bow would be to round off the corners of the grip. This would sure make it much more comfortable in your hand when you shoot.

Hey Rusty, my folks come from an area not too far from you - near Klagenfurt. Beautiful country out there.
