west coast ash
« on: October 20, 2014, 08:03:53 pm »
hey guy's this is a sinew backed ash bow in the west coast design, she's 54" ttt and pulling about 53# @25" , it's a few inches longer but I got all the demension's from the Ishi bow in one of the book's, I had about 3" of reflex to star and she's pretty flat now

here's the full draw best I could get with my phone i'm at a slight angle, that arrow is a full 31" so i'm probably drawing it 27"-28",one rabbit silencer on it, and I got the idea for the design from either Jim Hamm's book or native American bows and arrows both good book's, shoot's pretty smooth for the layout just a hair of a buzz on release, hope y'all like her

Great looking bow!  Please consider giving us details on how ya accomplished the graphics paint job ... it's fantastic.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Man, that's beautiful bubby.  Really great work.   I bet it's a hard hitting bow.

I bet ya know I like it bub, may be my favorite of all the fine bows you've posted here. Good call on the paint design and you did a heck of a job on it too.

Thanks Adam
thanks Howard
yeah Greg I kinda thought you might like it
It does shoot pretty quick at hunting distance, which is all most of us care about
