Yet another hybrid
« on: December 30, 2010, 09:13:57 pm »
Built this one recently for myself in order to have a decent bow for after Christmas archery season (80# too much, who'd have imagined?) I really rushed it, and as a result it is my worst functional hybrid yet:lol:. But it's for me, and I don't take any of my whining seriously anyway. Shoots fast and hard with no shock like the rest. It's got a poorly done ebony stain job on the riser and draws 62-63# at 28", about 66# at my draw. Finished tuning with inner tube silencers.

Man these glassies are making me miss selfbows and sinew backed bows. Have to get on cutting some more staves very soon.

Kegan, you are a bow building master. I sure do miss seeing those high weight all wood bows though.

Thank you! So do I :D. I've spent the last few evenings working on a few new hickory bows. I'm hoping to have a couple nice R/D selfbows and sinew backed bows finished soon enough ;).

Thanks Frank :)

Nice looking bow Kegan. I have been messing around with the glassies myself lately. ;)

Thanks Pete!

Mullet, I guess I don't really think before I type :D

Jesse, it's fun to take a break from wood bows every once in a while, makes me appreciate them more. You have any of that?

I pick up a wood bow and think "now that's a real bow"   I think I will always have a softer spot for a wood bow.

Couldn't agree more :). I have a couple in the hot box right now that I'm trying to baby along. I even want to go back and make some wooden arrows for them. Haven't done that in a while.
