I went to the Colorado Bowhunters Association Banquet last night. Nathon Andersohn was the keynote speaker. When the banquet ended I was the final bidder on this beautiful selfbow.
It was made and donated by a bowyer and well known bowhunter and outfitter here in SW Colorado, Jake Powell.
It is made from Osage with a python snake skin backing. It is about 60# at 28" and shoots like a dream. It is my first selfbow. I have always had a dream of making my own, but so far that hasn't worked out. This bow will give me some motivation to make that dream a reality.
Thanks to Jake for the donation. Hopefully I may get a chance to take it out hunting for a big Merriam gobbler in a couple of months.
