A buck taken by Hunter Rung, with a 58# Osage selfbow he made last winter in one of my bow classes  

     

Below are pictures of some critters taken with my Osage selfbows Pigger 63# & Budster 58#:

Here's Bucky:

     


An Alaskan Moose:

     


A Ranch Bison:

     

A Kitty:

     

Guess you might say that I don't have any reservations regarding the lethality of an Osage Selfbow.  

Hopefully, there will be an Alaskan Brown Bear to add in September.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Man, this is making me want to get started soon!! How many of the gang's sponsors sell selfbow tools (draw knives, scrapers, files, etc.)? Any recommendations?

You'll get your best deal on a draw knife at an antique or junk store. The older one have better steel than most new ones and you should be able to get a good one for $20 or less. Just be sure the blade isn't pitted.
 You can make a scraper with an old saw blade or disassemble a pair of cheap scissors. A simple 4 way rasp from Lowe's, Home Depot or your local hardware will do the rasping you need.
 If you'd rather buy it all new try 3Rivers.
