"Hard to Get"
« on: July 01, 2007, 05:08:00 PM »
Just finished her up this morning.  I named her "Hard to Get" because she fought me the entire time.  Had to heat her up five times to straighten out all her twists.  Then while tillering she definately played hard to get but she finally came around.  She is 62" long and came in a little light, 46#@28".  She is 1 3/8" at the fade and tapers to 5/16" at the nocks.  Should make a first rate target or 3D bow.  I backed her with a pair of western diamondbacks and hand rubbed seven coats of tru-oil to make her shine.  I also installed a small compass just to dress her up a little.  Enjoy!
