My 11th Tenn. Classic bow FINALY finished!
« on: January 21, 2009, 07:34:27 pm »
Well, here it is! I was finaly able to finnish it up a few months back. Sorry it took so long but I have been really busy. It shoots like a dream too! 

Its around 68" long and has a deer hide backing with a wonderfull diamond back rattle snake covering that PatB gave to me at the Tenn. Classic (Thanks Pat! Its great!!!).  I put the deer rawhide backing on just in case, since I had some long. grain run out on a spot I didn't notice while building it at the classic. As you can see its a reflex deflex design the tips are buff. horn nocks that GregB put on for me after the classic and then mailed the whole kit and kaboodle to me. (Thanks Greg! That is one heck of a job you've done!).  I'm going to try to bring this one out to the 12th Tenn. Classic to shoot in the comp there.  Thanks to Pappy, Greg and everyone who helped me put this together at the last Classic!

PS: Sorry I look so bad in the photo! I'm just getting over the Flue bug.

 Great looking bow. I remember you working on it. It turned out great.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I think it was arround 55-60 pounds but I did not check it after I weighed before the rawhide backing and skins went on. I will have to check it out in the future some time.
