new homemade bow is done
« on: June 01, 2009, 07:47:00 PM »
My first glass lam bow. thanks to the guys over on bowyers forum. also to John Dill and Ruddy(aka broke tooth) for the free stuff to build it. she's 62" 50@28. the design is by John Dill(he made the form a few years ago). kind of a 21st century meets Mike Treadway. shoots good. I snatched the high shot in pic. honest 20yds. has alittle vibration but the quiver seemed to tame it down . very fast. thanks for looking. DB
 
 
 
There is a buildalong on the bowyers forum with more pics

The design on that bow reminds me of a squirrel:  All muscle and full of energy!
Excellent job and craftsmanship.
