Here is a short vid for a buddy of mine to show him a selfbow and how they shoot, thought you all might enjoy it as well.

Thanks guys, the osage bow I was shooting is 64" the other one (hickory) is 60". I shot another video showing how you could shoot the hickory bow either right handed or left handed or upside down, again this video is not promoting either, but just showing the simplicity of selfbows.  I am no exhibition shooter or nothing so if the group is not as tight as you would like it I promise I will practice before season!  I have not shot any for a few months just been real busy.  Thanks guys I like this board there are some nice folks here!

Very good shooting form. The Osage bow looks like a good shooter.

Here is a short video of a bear I took using a longbow in Sask he was a real brute and I will throw a pic or two that way as well
