1st osage attempt?????

<< < (2/3) > >>

Lowell, I think you did a fine job with this osage bow. ;) The tiller looks good to me. How does she shoot?    BTW, what is your draw length? At 65" you could maybe lose a few inches to increase weight if need be. Also you could kick up the tips a bit for a little extra kick...or you could leave her just like she is and enjoy her.
   I think that osage is one of the easiest woods to chase a ring. There is such a difference between the early and late wood that I could remove a ring blind folded I think. ::)     Pat

Excellent job regardless of how many attempts.  Get that puppy finished!   ;D

   I couldn't wait to shoot it but it was before I had narrowed the handle down and with a string that was a little too long. I was  surprized that it still shot where I was looking!

  My draw is just 26". I have been shooting a 46# elm bow very good and wanted to bump the wieght on the osage up just a little. I struggled for many years with a bow that was to much poundage for me and don't want to do that again.

  What do you me "kick up the tips"???

He means recurves. ;)
You could get the inner limbs bending very slightly more, but it'll be just fine if you leave it where it is.
