Title: New osage bow finished
Post by: TroyH on March 31, 2010, 01:29:00 PM
Just finished up a new osage bow.  She's 62" ntn pulling 60#@26".  The handle is 4" with 2" fades, 1 3/8 limbs, straight taper to 1/2 nocks.  This is the best one I've made.  There is no hand shock or noise.  It does have about 1 3/4" string follow when relaxed.  It shoots very muck like my 50# Bear recurve, of course a little harder to pull.
