Title: red oak board bow
Post by: stretch2 on November 24, 2010, 11:21:00 PM
this is a bow that I entered at the county fair this year that won a blue ribbon. the bow is 68 inches and is about thirty pounds. i am not sure what kind of wood is the tip overlays but I know its not good for the lungs. I wont be using that anymore. the handle is leather with some deer as the lace. it has a leather arrow rest and felt strike plate. this is the first time i tried a flemish twist string as well and it worked out good. I gave this bow to my mother. i will get some pics of her shooting it next spring let me know what you guys think  and thanks ahead of time for any comments
