Well fellas ive got the hard part over with. I got my buddy from PA Kegan McCabe to build me a few selfbowslast year. My favorite of which is a 58" #53 hickory beauty.
Well last season i shot some (cover your ears) carbons out of it....(no i didnt get struck by lightning) I missed 2 does with it and a coon, and had a hoot with it, regardless that blood wasnt drawn (other than a rabbit)
Well my father and I have always built arrows out of Dowwell rods, playing mostly, but this year we both vowed to try to kill a deer with one of our "creations"
We have both made 4, all the same.
Kegan made my dad a selfbow too, out of the same wood as he made my bow. There sisters of a sort.
I have always dreamed of killing a deer with an arrow of my making. 'Primitive style' if you will.
Here they are, red oak dowells, cut to 28", Turkey fletching from a bird I killed, wrapped with sinew from a deer that fell to my recurve.
i finished them with a Minwax finish, and a little super glue for good measure.
Also my favorite bible verse inscribed.
Hope you enjoy!! i sure will! come on fall!!!!
