That's a very pretty stick!  The full-draw is so very nice!  Is the belly dyed/stained or is the color from toasting the belly for a heat treatment?

How does it feel to shoot Max?I think it's a classic example of avoiding hand shock with a longer osage using a nice elliptical tiller.Nice back drop for all of your pictures also.

Are you putting it in the BOM contest?
Title: Re: 2017 Tn. Classic Hognose Skake, Osage
Post by: Mad Max on June 06, 2017, 02:19:17 pm
I don't think I would have a chance  at winning

Post by: PEARL DRUMS on June 06, 2017, 03:00:02 pm
You might be surprised. Lots of fella's vote on a well built bow.  Not just a fancy, glossy poorly built bow. I would be one of them. I first look at the execution and design, then look at the bells and whistles hangin off it.

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't think it was worthy of my vote  ;)
Title: Re: 2017 Tn. Classic Hognose Skake, Osage
Post by: BowEd on June 06, 2017, 04:16:30 pm
One thing though.It looks like a right handed shooting bow.You show full draw left handed.Is there a reason for that?No big deal just curious. (SH)
Title: Re: 2017 Tn. Classic Hognose Skake, Osage
Post by: Mad Max on June 06, 2017, 04:23:16 pm
Yes Beadman, I am left handed and the bow is right handed.

Thanks Guy's

I think I will enter for BOM

Nice max no set. Looks good to me. Narrow tips also nice. Very little shock in that one. Arvin
