The easiest way to see all 46 of them is to go to this site and then you can click on the list on the right to see them all.  Otherwise I can put up some more links.

The bow is a 66" osage bow.  It is 40# @ 27" That tree was cut on Denny Sturgis's farm and it's an inner stave.  There was 40 years of growth on top of the back ring of the bow.  I am shooting a 10 strand D-10 string that A.S. (Allen Shaffer) made.  I am shooting sitka spruce arrows.  They are barrelled shafts with 125 gr. point and 5" RW helical feathers.  I shoot a lot of other arrows but these are what I am toying with to shoot in 3D shoots next year.  I made a winged elm bow that is 43# and fortunately it shoots the same shafts as this bow.  

This bow is cut to 1/4" outside center.  The arrows are 50-55# spined.

Thank you for the info...

I'm going to have to watch more of your vids as I get time..

 What do you find the barreled shafts offer over parallel ?  I'm surprised you can shoot 50-55's out of a bow that's 1/4" off center..

Pat they are full length so a general rule of thumb is that you get 5# per inch past 28"  so a 32" would be in the ballpark of  30-35#  I got decent flight from 57# shafts but it's too hard to get shafts that are that close without buying 100 and sorting through them.

Those plastic wiffle balls just don't inspire a trad man....once you got some animals or birds in front of you you were cookin'...haha  Very nice bow, good shooting. Especially at over 25 yds with a wind! Still working on making one I can hunt with.

Ratslayer you should shoot your self bow just like any other bow. It should not be shot differently. It is a bow.

Yes, I make them and this one is Osage
