« on: June 05, 2009, 07:31:00 PM »
i decided that i was going to make myself a longbow this past spring so i drove from georgia all the way to linneus missouri to visit kennym and to get the would for my bow.(that wasn't my only reason but, thats another story) well i made the bow and this was the outcome  and this is its first blood about a 15lbs carp from lake clarks hill. pretty good start for the new bow. can't wait till fall

Congrats to you what are the spec's on the bow? It looks darn good for your first try. Good luck in the fall.

Great looking bow and nice fish, eman.  Using self made equip really ups the feel good level.
