Osage first try (ding ding)

[Pat B]

I also keep and study my broken bows. I still have my first osage bow(from about 1990) that broke when it was over drawn. It broke right where they said it would.
  That is a special bow. I would leave it as it is and display it near that buck.

Only time will tell Pat that is for sure. I need to learn how to make those first.

Shaun I think that I over drew it. There is no knots are anything that I can see. Thanks I told the wife I would be showing off the pics and talking about it for a week just to warn her.

Sorry to see the bow broke Kelly, but congrats on a mighty fine buck! That's consolation enough right there that you could break 5 bows and still be happy, that buck is a HAWG!!
That's so cool that you made it while stationed in a hell hole away from your family, dreaming about chasing deer with the bow you had been working on. Plus you built it with nearly zero tools and basically working on a shoestring as far as tools available to you, then to come home and make that dream a Reality??!!?!!? Un-freaking-real Man!!
