Title: HHB Hunting bow
Post by: scrub-buster on September 12, 2010, 08:19:00 PM
Here the bow I plan on using for deer season this fall.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago.  It is HHB, 65" long and 55# @ 26".  It has a decent sized knot in the upper limb.  I stained it and used the spar urethane satin finish.  I also went with pin nocks and a floppy rest.  The handle felt great, so I didn't wrap it with leather.  I tillered the lower limb just a tad stiffer than the upper one.  I have been trying to practice every day with it.  My daughter has been shooting with me.  Hopefully it will put some meat in the freezer soon.

HHB makes an excellent bow and you have done it proud with your tillering. Should put meat in the freezer for you.

Nice bow. I especially like the riser and arrow rest.  Good luck.
