First good shooter!

I got this osage stave at MoJam and finished it up over the summer. So far it has been shot a few hundred times and been on several hunting trips. Now all the staves I split a couple of months later need to hurry up and dry...the limbs have a couple of wrinkles, which made it a bit tricky to tiller, for me at least, but it shoots better than I do and doesn't have much set, even after being strung for several hours...so I am pretty happy. (57# at 28", although I am drawing it a bit less than that; 62" ntn)

Congratulations on your first shooter. Mojam sure is a great place to pick up staves and info. I met so many new people there, but I don't recognize your face. Nice job all the same. I like the stain job.

Very nice bow. I agree, the stain on the bow is great. May have to be a little more creative on my next one. Congratulations on a nice bow.
