Congratulations to Will H for winning Self BOM for February with his R/D Osage w/copperheads!!!

http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,45438.0.html

Here is what Will H had to say: I've been foolin around with some different r/d shapes on Osage selfbows for the last couple months. This is the fifth and my favorite so far. I built this bow with one thing in mind. Deer killin!  Its from a very dark set of matched billets I've been holding onto for a while now. I'd say it's some of the most beautiful Osage I've ever run across! So I decided after shooting the bow in for a week or so that it shot so well I would have to put a killer set of skins on it and make it my #1 hunting bow for next year  I talked my wife into going outside and taking a couple pics for me so I could share it with you folks  thanks fer lookin! 

64" NtN with the bottom limb 2" shorter
42#@28"
1 1/2" to mid-limb then tapering to 1/2" nocks
3" Fades
Horn tip overlays
10 strand D97 string 
Here are what some forum members had to say about:
well now I will go hide my r/d attempt in the corner of shame that's a beauty Will, Bub

Nice bow. The deer will be happy to be taken down with such a fine piece of work. Def a contender for Self BOY....Nice job!! Mohawk13

Will, that bow is one of the coolest R/D bows I've seen on this site. The strung and unstrung looks gorgeous and I'm a sucker for osage and copper heads. I think the coloer scheme was made for each other.  Danny

well thats just great, a few months in and already found the BOY! , really gorgeous bow there, love the copper on osage.  NeolithicMan

Nicely done in every detail Will, a real fine bow there. I'll be wanting to see that beauty up close, wheres its gonna be hanging up at the classic this spring so I can come by and admire it.  Looks like it puts the arrows where you want 'em too.  Badly Bent


Wow man.  Now that's a how.  Well done I love everything about that one.  Looks like a joy to shoot with not having to strain too hard to get the job done.  I hope you make meat with it in the fall .  IdahoMatt
