Perry Reflex Boo Backed Hickory build along

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Good job Jeff, man you were quick! I just now saw this post and your already done with it....dang that's fast.

I prepped my boo the exact same way you did, and I saw some similarities the way we do other things too. Like the sawzall blade on the back of the surfaces to be glued. I think this is probably why some guys glue ups fail, they are afraid to groove the back of their material to be glued up. I gouge mine pretty good, but not super deep to cause failure, but I want nice channels for the glue to penetrate and have something to grab onto.

Great Job overall man, and I hope you get a nice bird with it this spring. I'm getting back to work on mine today. Hopefully be shootin some arras by this afternoon.

Nice job man! Sounds like you have a real shooter and that is what its all about. It may not be perfect but it sounds like you learned a lot along the way. Thanks for the build along, I will certainly reference it at some point in the future when I build one similar to it.

Well rain cut the trip a little short, but man what a good trip even though the big ol tom is still strutting on a ridge above the white river. We did dosy doe for three long days and I would rather loose to a great adversary than win against a fool. Anyway

Thanks Art for the advice.

Chris Maybe this rain will get out of here next week so I can try it out on one of these swamp birds. Make sure to show us some pics, I have a osage character bow I have to do next for a guy but then I am gonna do the osage boo in the same design.

Lee I want you to know, a pocket knife is still not small enough to keep a person from making trad equipment. One afternoon I cut cane shoots for arrows and then every night around the camp fire we practiced knapping the local rock variety of rocks. LOL

Like SEMO said, that was quick.  Nice job, LW.
