« on: June 19, 2008, 12:24:00 AM »
I built this bow at the SELF BOW CHALLENGE this year at Twin Oaks with a lot of help from (BigA) Anthony and GregB. This is MY 2nd year to compete in the Challenge and I wanted to build a shorter bow and Something I could hunt with........Hickory, 58" 46@26",,,,,,Purple Heart Tip Overlays......RIT Dye that we mixed to Sorta look like Osage.....WE like this bow a lot and it is a Shooter........We consider it an Honor to know Pappy, Greg, Anthony, and the entire crew at Twin Oaks...Myself, Mason, and Zach love to go up and visit as often as we can........THANKS for Looking, SKYLER
