2013 Annual Bow Swap

[LittleBen]

Well I had the chance finally to shoot in my swap bow. Man it's going to be tough to send this one to it's new owner. Fortunately, my recipient seems like a good guy so it makes me feel a little better knowing its going to a good home.

Shoots very smoothly, little bit of handshock but nothing crazy. Very quiet shooter. Very accurate. I was shooting it out to 30-35 yards and grouping arrows in about 8" circle fairly consistently.

It's 68" tip to tip, and it pulls ?!# at ?!". Thats all I can say.

It's a shedua and figured maple riser, Hickory backed Jatoba limbs with Shedua core lamination (all the lams tapered).

Here it is braced and drawn to 25", thats as much as you're gonna get from these short arms.

 
 

I'll ship it soon. Once I have a moment.

Great looking bows everybody!!!!
Burnt what is the red in your riser??

[burnt]

That is bubinga.  Nice looking stick david what kind of snake skin is that?

[David Flanrey]

Burnt,
It is a big ole rattler.  I got the skin from snakewood3.  It was huge!  I split it down the middle and cut it in half and had enough for 2 bows.  The scales looked like fish scales.

This bow may scare some folks that have a fear of snakes.
