One for myself.
« on: September 12, 2013, 06:38:00 PM »
I finally got around to have some time to build myself a new one.  58 incher 55 pounds.  Ziricote riser, foam cores, B&W ebony veneers.  Stippled grip.  She's going elk hunting in 2 weeks.  

 

 


First three @ 30 yards.  Hopefully the elk will coop and be closer.  Yep I know I need a new target.

great looking bow, love those veneers, and great shooting too. I 'd be more than happy with that group at 20 yards, never mind 30!.

Yeah Roy "it's ok".  Shoots well.  Bob I'm only shooting that far because I'm going elk hunting in two weeks.  Thanks.

Very nice looking bow!  Target doesn't look that bad - think it has several hundred shots left in it!   :D
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

Beautiful bow!  My basement box target looks very similar to yours.  Eh, I'll put some new cardboard in it one of these days, maybe...  :)
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

That bow rocks- Natural ASAT camo
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target

I ground those veneers from a board I have in my shop.  Black and white ebony is one of my favorite woods.  Just love the stuff.  

Thanks again fellas
