Elm bow makes bacon
« on: April 08, 2013, 04:09:06 am »
Little elm bow makes a little bacon.  56 in ntn 60 ish lbs shoots real nice shot about 10 animals already.  Think it might make a good little bow for awhile! Built it in Nov. still going strong probably a thousand arrows thru it now.

For sure it is an effective bow, but is it the camera angle that makes the brace tiller look off? Congrats on the kill!

Oh I see what ya mean top limb is facing hogs rear that make sense now?  Did not notice that til ya pointed it out.  About 3/16 pos tiller I draw with a real strong bottom finger so keep bottom limb pretty stiff for my personal bows.

Gotcha, thought that may be what it was. I Doubt I would notice a tiller off only 3/16th. I like the finish on it, any chance of some closeups?

Ya guys I am in Seattle right now but when I get back to Spokane I will take some pics and do a write up on the bow, be home Fri.  It turned out really nice silk backed and stained.  Then I shot a deer with it and threw it out of a tree to hustle down,  it hit a branch on the way down flipped back to the mail trunk and a tree step took a ding out of the top limb.  Just scraped it down sanded the ding out and put finish back on so now it has an area with no stain, I will say it has a "beauty" mark!
