Title: First Glass bow complete!
Post by: perry f. on February 27, 2011, 06:33:00 PM
Here's my first glass bow. It's a reflex/deflew long bow. 64" long, nock to nock and pulls 45# @ 28". The limbs are walnut under clear glass and the riser is select spectra from Kennym.

Thanks for all the compliments. I absolutely love this bow. I had big plans to take this bow on an elk hunt this fall, but at 45# I'll probably just use it turkey hunting here in Indiana.

Kenny, the select spectra was used on the riser of this bow. What do you think? Send me a PM when you get up and around. I have some laminations for my first take down recurve that I aquired when I got my bow making equipment. Needing to get a riser block, etc. Thanks again!
