Thanks for all the kind words guys!
I'll get an un-braced profile and a full draw pic up soon, cause I know that nothing is considered complete without those 2 pics.
Everything about this bow was pretty much made from scraps. It's a splice in the handle bow from 2 leftover pieces of osage I had under my bench. I used them cause I had never done a splice before........so that was a first.
Then I backed it with the worst piece of bamboo I had........another first.
Then the patchwork of recycled road kill snakes..........yet another first skinnin a bow.
I actually never thought it would make it all the way to the end, but sometimes that's just how things turn out.
It shoots awesome, hits right where I'm lookin' shoots those CX Predators like darts! 90gr. brass inserts (100gr. brass inserts turned down) with another 100gr. on the tip for 190gr. total up front, 490gr. total arrow wt.
I chronoed this bow just for kicks and it pushes these 490gr. arras as fast as my Bear Grizzly if you can believe that? It's true.
Never thought I could do that with scraps and a bow I built in my garage.
Lee- Thanks man, put the word out to all your friends and kin folk that you want snake skins too.
