Rawhide Juniper Longbow
« on: December 26, 2011, 10:00:00 AM »
This is one I've been workin on off and on during deer season. The juniper was a gift from Greg in Malad and this was my first time workin with it so I kept it simple. It is a pleasure to work with and really holds reflex well. It is 68" ntn and pulls 50# at 28" and still holds 1.5" of reflex. It kinda surprised me at how hard it flings an arrow. Tips are purpleheart and the handlewrap is hemp cordage. Thanks for lookin.

That juniper makes a fine shooter for sure.

 Great looking tiller on that baby!
