Osage attempt!
« on: July 11, 2021, 08:07:18 PM »
This was my first attempt at building a Selfbow using Osage. It was a pleasure to work with and a learning process. I watched videos and consulted a good friend who’s built many. I made mistakes but was able to get a bow that shoots  :archer2: :archer2:

She’s 62” long and 42# at my 26” draw and hits right where I’m looking with minimal hand shock  :bigsmyl:
Thanks gang!
Looking forward to the IBO shoot Mr Pat B  :thumbsup:

Very nice bud! Y’all ring chasers have my deepest respect. Appears it fell in real close to what you may have been looking for. Those pigs have something new to worry about now!

Was out shootin Kenny thru Super. Kenny is my Arrow. I may shoot whole thing just with him/her/it?
Kenny is a Khan 30” and when hes on a roll , look out! Had him for years. Shot entire TAS 2020. Kenny took Silver but had Gold in his teeth.

You c’mon the Selfbow men the bigger the Party. We all be of one blood!
