Title: Osage Take Down...I fixed the pictures guys...sorry about that!
Post by: YewArcher on August 11, 2007, 02:51:23 pm
I just finished up this Osage take down. Pretty straight forward selfbow.

60" long. 60#@ 27"

Unbraced, notice the snaky top limb (left limb). Bottom limb is nice and straight.

Very cool bow! Nice and simple, except for the takedown part. Pretty easy or are they a pain in the butt? Never tried one myself.

jbell, It was pretty easy. hardest thing is just matching the profile of the sleeve. Other then that its routine bow builidng.

Old Bow....Is that full draw pic poor and grainey? If So I can try and get another. I think my wife took a few? Let me know if that is the problem.

Thanks,

SJM
