Title: BBO "Frostbite"
Post by: c'ville on December 26, 2010, 05:42:00 PM
Here is my BBO that I built last year around Christmas time.  I've been learning a good bit on this site and thought I'd share something I made.  I named the bow Frostbite because I finished it during one of last year's snow storms and it was FREEZING outside.  The wood was a gift from a good friend and hunting buddy who has taught me almost everything I know about building bows.  The tip overlays are whitetail anter and the arrow rest is an elk ivory from an elk that my dad shot.  It draws 63# at 28 inches.  I love this bow, it is my current hunting bow because it shoots fast and smooth.  I couldn't be happier with it.

Sorry the pictures are not the best, the only camera I have is on my phone.

Shoot straight and Happy Hunting,
