Her first selfbow!
«

May 17, 2008, 10:08:00 AM »
After getting my True Love started on an Pearson All American recurve, I made her a white oak selfbow. The bow is 62" long, 23# @26". Cane grip. 4 coats of helmsman spar urethane. She likes the selfbow a lot better than the recurve. I went for a more elliptical tiller in order to eke some extra performance from the lighter draw weight.
More details here.

Nice bow, & sweetie. Watch out she may enjoy hunting more than you do! My Bride is almost that bad!

Shaun, thanks for the compliment. She's really worked hard on her form. when we go to the range she'll pick one thing to work on and we work on that.

Nice looking bow and handle, Shamus, and it looks like your lady is progressing by leaps and bounds.

I clicked on you link above this morning, too funny with the trad archer stare. You are right, she does it better hat or no. I would hate to see "the look", you know the fists on hips one we get when we misspeak! Good Hunting! to you both.
