1st. TD, Sometimes you surprise even yourself
« on: February 22, 2015, 03:58:00 PM »
My first TD and third Bow altogether. I must say I never dreamed I could make anything like this. Thanks to all you guys that freely give advice and put on the Build Alongs without those this would never have happened.
  I was making it for myself, but turned out a little heavy for my
29.5" draw, so my hunting partner decided to take it off my hands. Turned out 51# @ 28", it's 62" NTN, Bocote and Osage
With some of Troys spliced Bocote/Osage Veneers.
  Made several minor mistakes, but it sure was a great experience. Hopefully I can get the weight down on the next one.
