Title: Hazelnut Propeller bow
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on July 15, 2008, 08:43:57 pm

i was playing around with this cool little stave and made a bow for my girlfriend, whether she will shoot it or not is a whole 'nother story. ;D 
    but anyway it has lots of prop twist and a couple cool knots on the bottom limb. it tillered well and didnt fret at all even though it was a sapling. it didnt take hardly any set at all either.
    its about 62 inches  and  30# @ 27"    she doesnt draw that far but incase she doesnt shoot it, i can sell it of to someone who will.  the 30# is still a bit heavy for her, she weights about 100# soaking wet with a pocket full of rocks so its not wonder she cant muscle it back.  thanks for looking- Ryan

Very nice job on that one. I've been thinking about making a bow from a sapling... I may just try it after seeing this one. Tiller looks good also. Hope she enjoys it.

Great job on that bow Chief!
 I gotta love a full draw pic that has the line from tip to tip built in. I'm always holdin the edge of an envelope across from t2t on the monitor,to help me see the evenness of the  tiller .
 Bow certainly fits yer handle. :)

You don't call yourself "twistedlimbs" for nothing. Very fine bow - good design with the string centered right on the center.  Impressive tiller and bookmarked for July Self BOM, too.
