A self bow for my son
« on: October 30, 2009, 07:46:00 PM »
I wanted to make a bow for my 10 year old son, so we could shoot together.  I made him an osage D-bow.  It is 50" NTN, 1" wide tapering to 1/2" tips.  I made the shelf a little big so it will be easier for him to keep the arrow on it.  It pulls 35# @ 20", which is a little heavy for him right now, but by spring, it should be just right.  He has not really shot a bow much, so this is all new to him.  While I was making it, he decided he wanted to be an indian for halloween so he could carry his bow around with him trick or treating.  I made him some arrows out of dowel rods to go with it.  My mom made him the outfit including the antler necklace.  I painted some turkey feathers to look like eagle feathers.
