Well this goes back some time. Molson and I have always been on JD to build a plain Jane hunting bow. Well I got my wish about a week ago. This bow is Osage and cocobolo. 66in long and 60 @28. I told JD I needed a good bow for muley deer in 2010. The cast on this bow is impressive. The bow is his new line called the "AROGOS"

That's a looker! I've always been partial to simple, yet elegant longbows. Some are just too busy looking for my tastes.

Sure is a sweet shooter. 'Bout time he built something with Osage!

She's a beauty for sure....

I bet she shoots as good as she looks.
I had a Berry bow a few years back; it was a sweet shooter also, had to give it up for a ligher weight bow.

Sweet looking bow. Some nice looking Osage.

Shinken · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:10:00 PM »

Excellent combination of woods A k9!

I like a good contrast between the riser and the lams, and osage with cocobolo is *always* nice!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Elkken and Northener, I will put my own name to it either during or after this season. Hopefully it will be a good one.

Curt too bad your a lefty...This is a sweet shooter.

Thanks evryone for the nice comments. JD really put his time into this bow.

My son and I meet JD back in July of this year. He showed us a couple of bows that he made. They sure are sweet. He let us shoot one of them he said was a "Proto" for a new one he was coming out with. I really liked it so I bought it. It looks like the one in your pictires.

Mike Gerardi · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2009, 09:57:00 AM »

M1, It is the same style bow. JD told me he sold that bow. But I thought he sold it out of his shop.
