See-thru selfbow?
« on: August 30, 2009, 11:14:00 PM »
Ahhhh, now that vacation is here it's time to get back to posting. And Raghorn, Cody and Trap you'll be getting those PM's I owe you.

But first, I needed this bow like a hole in the head, but I just couldn't put it down. It's got great lines (although I haven't had the guts to string it yet). If it weren't for the scuffing on the sideplate, I would think the bow is brand new.

I figured you guys would get a kick out of it. I guess you're pretty much toast if you accidentally sand through the fiberglass on this one!

The string is 58" so I am guessing it would be a 62" bow, no?

Another step back in time, and it's another Michigan bow, too...Sweet!   :thumbsup:  

 

 

Who'da thunk, a see-thru glass selfbow?!

 

 

And Raineman, what's up with that string? It's braided and coated like a dang clothesline:

 

Complete with string grooves:

What have you heard about 'em Cody?  Should I try and string it and shoot a few?

Boy, I imagine that thing would just disappear in the winter woods!

Bernie, I would try and shoot it a few times.. I would just make sure I have a pair of pants and long shirt on and something to cover my face.. for the first few shots...

Let me know how it shoots ( if you can take some video )

P.S if you ever want to sell it look me up..
