First,
Let me apologize to DVSHunter for not following up as promised on my short post acknowledging receipt of his bow.
Dave, The bow is Awesome!
The bow had a tiny bit of vibration when first strung and shot, but disappeared after adjusting the brace height, now it is smoooooth. It easily handles my 28 ½” – 29” draw. The craftsmanship is exceptional and the skived leather grip is a really nice touch, it looks great and it is comfortable. Working leather like that is beyond my current abilities, but seeing this handle wrap in person has inspired me to try one sometime. I think Dave might have done some research on my preferences and as the bow was built almost exactly how I build my Selfbows (when I can find a straight stave); narrow tips, pretty tip overlays, bulbous handle, and backed with python snakeskin. The python is appreciated as I have backed several donation bows with python but neglected to keep one for myself before my source for python snakeskins ran out of them.
Dave, once again,
YOU DONE GOOD….REAL GOOD!
I foresee a few critters meeting their demise from this bow.
Here are the money pictures:
