This is my 1st real survivor bow. It's Rawhide backed Ash Flat Bow 64" n-n pulls 48#@my 24 1/4" Draw. I shot it over 300x before backing but wanted some cheap insurance. I would like to thank Marc for answering my many questions. It isn't perfect was still a leaning tree 12-7-15. I split removed bark and cambium layer and roughed to floor tiller then left in shop with in floor heat at 63 degrees for 8 weeks. Then I slowly tillered removing a little wood every day for about 2 weeks. It does have alittle set but I love how it shoots have well over 1000 arrow through her now.

Sharp looking bow. Nice job.

thanks guys, Yes Brad I saw a guy on you tube curing roughed out stave's like that. I'm not saying its a great way to do it but I wanted to start the learning process. Crooked arrow the way I shoot I don't need bigger site window but maybe I should shoot different some days they go right where I'm looking some days not so much. I'm still really new at this hadn't shot a bow since kid 45 years ago. Then it was just screwing around shooting strait up in air. Where did it go I cant see it. thump there it is gee dumb. PNewton I'm really hoping to meet you soon. Do you know any of the guys that shoot in Carsonville or Cass City?
-
Very good work, nice bend there. I like it.
-
Thanks Simson nearly as nice as your work but maybe some day. Thanks to every one who looked or posted.
-
Looking forward to meeting you also Brian. If not before, Marshall is in 4 weeks. Offhand, I don't know anyone who shoots at Carsonville or Cass City. I used to go to the traditional shoot in Caro, but it's been a while.
-
My brother shoots wheelies with guys in Carsonville said they used to have some traditional shooters. Some one I just meet said group from Cass City hunt all traditional on State land by Verona might be same group as Caro
-
Looks nice. I like that pattern. Great work!
-
Thanks Carson. I like it too. Was kinda trying for that snake skins look. Actually must have got kinda close cause when people see it they say it looks like a snake. It may only get one vote ( mine) but I am proud of it . I feel both honored and humbled competing with these great bowyer's and even if I just get my one vote I'm glad I entered and glad to see so many other BOM's this month
