Show me your self bow
« on: February 17, 2016, 08:33:00 PM »
Hey guys just like the title says I've become really interested in a simple self bow here lately so I thought I'd ask you gents if I could see all of talks and of course pictures of animals you've taken with them are always a welcome site

Here are a couple I've made.  My favorite is this Osage one.  The natural kink in the stave at the handle makes it close to center shot.

 

 

Hickory.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

The first 2 bows are white oak and the third bow is black locust. Self bows are great. I enjoy making and shooting them.
