Zachs first bow..
« on: April 15, 2013, 08:40:00 PM »
Last fall I got an e-mail from Zach a High School senior wanting to build a bow for his senior project..we glued it up in Feb 2013 and finished it today..even though it was after 5pm it was hot so we went to a local indoor range to shoot his new bow. 66" D/R longbow, 43# @ 28" (he pulls 29" to 30") amberboo tapers, figured bubinga veneers, Bubinga Riser with black and red beauty stripes...

Thanks Guys, I talked to Zach yesterday he has been shooting it and is quickly developing his bow muscles.. he has a lot going on with high School graduation, the Prom and starting College all on his plate. He needs to find a Trad friendly archery club in Tallahassee near the FSU campus. Not sure how much time he will have to shoot since he will be busy with school.
