Title: Hickory backed locust laminated D/R bow
Post by: Ryano on October 27, 2008, 11:04:24 pm

Here's a bow I made as a kind of experiment with a semi-reverse style grip. I liked the way it came out but it was to light for me so I gave it to a buddie from are archery club who always helps us set up and tare down for our shoot. Its 64"ntn and pulls 43#@28". Perfect draw weight for him since all his other longbows and recurves pull between 40 and 45#. I hope he likes it and gets some use out of it. Ryano

Ryano, I can see you have incorporated stealth technology in the bow you posted. It blends in so well I can't even see it.  Lol. I guess I'm on a role or something but seriously I'm looking forward to seeing it I know you stuff will be looking good.   Danny

very nice bow! really like the braced profile.
finish looks good, too

ps: i had this happening: scaled down a pic, saved it to 95%, still too big, tried to make this smaller didn't work; had to go back to the original and scale down again and save to maybe 90%. no idea why!

Ryano that is one beautiful bow. The person who you gave it to is one very lucky person and should be very proud to own it, I know I would.
You like alot of the other guys have alot of talant and it only makes us beginners strive to do better and hopefully someday become as good as you guys someday.

I havent heard back from him since the day he picked it up, so I don't know what he thinks of it. I'm sure he's busy hunting right now like everyone else here.
