Title: Mojam Bow
Post by: Dvshunter on July 29, 2018, 03:54:58 am
Just wanted to share sone pictures of the bow i made for the mojam auction. Its 60in. It pulls 40@28. Osage with corn snake. The tips are water buffalo and ramhorn.
I think its 1 1/8 wide at the fades. I made the small rest out if glued up leather. I wish i had soneone shoot it at the flight shoot. I took these pictures at mojam and forgot to get a full draw, so if anyone knows how to get in touch with Le, maybe we can get a full draw. Thanks to the Marshall bowhunters for such a great event!

Dave I've never even made it to MoJam yet,but I can tell how much enthusiasm you and everyone else have for it. Really gotta thank you for all the pictures and effort you put into this event and promise someday I'll be there. Until then thanks for taking all us along.

That is a beautiful bow and love how you left the MoJam stickers on till the Osage changed colors.

PS love the picture of you and Clint. Clint is starting to look more like you than you. I kinda think it's a improvement for him.

That was one sweet looking bow Dave.  I wanted it bad but Le wanted it a little bit more.  I'm glad it brought some good money for the club.  Next year can you make one a few lbs heavier at a shorter draw length  ;) 


Mojam grows on you BJ.  By the time I left I was wearing tie dye and had a red beard  ;D

I like the heavier weight shorter draw length suggestion Clint. We can bid against each other again.

I noticed Dave was rubbing off on you Clint. I wonder what I'll look like when I leave there. ::)

I would love to make it to Mojam one of these years myself. It's just a far drive from SE Pa. That is one beautiful looking bow. Really like the handle....looks like it makes for a very comfortable grip. Great job.

He says "Next year can you make one a few lbs heavier at a shorter draw length'


Or make it a few pounds lighter at a shorter draw length.    :-)


That's beautiful bow, putting the letters on and removing them after it starts to turn. That's thinking outside the box. Kudos again.


Congrats to the winner.

That was a very nice bow...you know I would have brought it home to put next to my Marley bow, but you told me to wait for a heavier one.  :)  I had also talked to Li(Lee?) and knew how much he wanted it.  That boy has the fever and the talent to be a great bow maker himself.  Glad it went to such a good home.  You did a great job on it (as always) my friend.

Good-looking stick there! did the same Li get it that was buying everything in Marshall?

Dave your right on with that guess. I've been toying with the idea of earth tones though to use for camo I do like the more vibrate colors for normal wear.
Bjrogg
Paul I'm thinking that's one in the same. I think I saw lei in some of the pictures. I think he told me he was going to go to MoJam. I agree with Bob. That young man is going to make some beautiful bows.

Yes, it was Li from Marshall.  I think he is going to the Classic next year.  He has the bow building sickness pretty bad.

Yep same li. He told me everyone he was getting that bow. Im glad he got it. He definitly has the fever for sure. He is already making some great bows too. I think he made two, maybe three the week he was at mojam.

Bj, i was thinking some tie dye with walnut and osage dyes. Mizzou colors!
