Here is a mulberry bow I made in the spring after returning from OJAM. I really like the mulberry as a bow wood and it has bumped hickory down a notch. A friend gave me the stave and a bunch more bow wood. Its called PBR for obvious reasons. The stickers were for fun.
 

Here is PBR's first blood

Posting pictures on here is a seventy-four step nightmare resulting in dejected failure, broken computers, and a need to respond to the invitation song Sunday morning.  But, you can add Daniel Sweeney on FB and look through the "Bow Stuff" album.  Lots of selfbow game from the past few years on there.

My first self bow with my first self bow harvest. I built this bow from a strawberry guava tree which I harvested in the hills.

   

Aloha,

I've only shot one animal with a selfbow. A warthog in Africa!

Pics are actually pretty easy on here! You just have to have an your pics in an image hosting site like photobucket, imgur, flicker, etc.

Doug Campbell killed an American Bison with a selfbow and flint head in 7 seconds. I don't know if he has any pics or not.

Here are a few of the critters Pigger has taken, 58# Osage selfbow.

 

 

 

 

This one was taken by Pigger's sister stave, Budster, 64# Osage selfbow:

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