reflex/deflex bamboo-osage
« on: August 22, 2008, 07:33:00 PM »
I built this bow for one of my left-handed friends.  It is 66" 54# @ 28". It is rather severely reflex/deflexed and the limbs never actually bend past straight, but without fiberglass, this is a very fast bow.  500 grain arrow 187 fps on the chrono.  I airbrushed the back to look like a Fender guitar. Tulipwood riser and tip overlays.
