Gun Doc’s trade bow “Prarie Rattler” sinew backed osage 5-curve bow wins June Backed BOM!! 


 http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,33345.0.html


Here is what Josh had to say about his bow:  Well it's  same as done.  Sinew backed Osage five-curve with pyramid limbs and semi-static non contact recurves. 54" ntn, 60#@26"  draws nice with no stack.  The handle starts bending at about the same time the recurves open up a bit at about 23".  The tips are hackberry, the skins are prairie Rattler covering 3 layers of Gus's fine Sinew.  Thanks Gus!  Simple b-50 14 strand Flemish string.  The handle wrap is Bison hide with scraps (belly scales) from the Rattler skins sewn on for piping .   A few more arrows and a few more coats of tru-oil and I'll ship her out to her new home.  Which will be a couple weeks before I get around to doing.  I hope xxxxxxxxxxx is patient!  Thanks for looking ,   Josh


Here are some comments from other online bowyers:  Very, very cool bow, GD. Someone is gonna be very, very pleased with this bow.  OH man! That full draw is beautiful!!!   8) 8) Pat B
That's what I call some curves! Very nice bow Doc. Maybe you should change your name to Bow Doc...get it?   ;)lesken2011
Josh, that's as pretty as they come, period. Very talented you are, I'm really jealous

Doc:  Now that is a fine, fine piece.  Right down to the belly scale piping and rattles.  You stepped up to the plate on that one.  That is just one cool bow.  MWirwicki
Good Grief Sir!  That is a Beauty!  Glad you were pleased with the sinew.  Some Lucky So and So will be Mighty Pleased to unwrap that Beauty, I have no doubt! -gus

Thank you very much everyone.  This means more to me than mere words could ever express.  I never thought it was possible to be so humbled and simultaneously have my head swell three hat sizes!  Considering the quality of the other bows in the running ,   I dared only to hope for a good showing.  Once again, thank you!   Josh
