I haven't made myself a bow in a couple years, so with our bow season over, I got after it. I find myself gravitating more and more to simplicity, so this one is all osage and nothing else. I've actually had the materials for this one since early last spring, but finally got to gluing it up over Thanksgiving weekend.
It's a reverse handle ASL, 68" long and 57# at 28".
My goal was to make it the same as my last bow I made for myself which I shot my buck with this past season (the bow in my hero pic below).
I hit the mark! I shot them side by side using the same arrows, and I can't tell the difference between them. Just what I wanted and these two bows will be coming with me to Bear Quest in June.
Now I just need Gary Hall to make me up some arrows to match it. You know - I have to color coordinate
