pics of my bbo (full draw pic added)
« on: July 08, 2011, 09:02:00 PM »
i just finished up this bbo. it's 65 1/4 ntn, 40#@28", handle is stacked hickory and osage with hickory overlays on the fades. i stitched on a leather handle wrap. the bow is light weight so i didn't put on any tip overlays. what do you think?  don

Looks to be a straight profile unstrung, how much reflex did you start with?

thanks everybody. sorry i didn't include the money shot. my wife was not around to take the pics. i'll add full draw pics tomorrow. she( i think it's a she, i haven't named it yet.) shoots very nice, very smooth. i glued it up with about 1 1/2 inches of reflex and after shooting, it settles into a straight profile. so, 1 1/2 inches of set and 0 string follow. i have another that i made several years ago that i love to shoot. that one is 45#@28" and this bow shoots very similar and even likes the same 3R hunters arrows which are spined 40#-45#. cast seems to be just a tad less. any ideas for a name?  don
