Title: Luke's Copperhead Bow
Post by: David Flanrey on June 28, 2012, 10:28:00 PM
Luke is my shootin buddy.  My only grandson for a couple more weeks.  I have made him several bows in the last three years.  Here are a couple.

The longbow is 40" NTN and about 15# at 15".  The little glass bow is osage under clear glass and 34" NTN and 20# at 15"

Luke is a good shot for a three year old.  We work on his form, concentration and having alot of fun when we go stumpin.

Thanks for the compliments guys.  His grandmother says I have made him obsessed with archery.  All I do is shake my head in the affirmative and try  to keep from smiling too much. It is 105 outside right now and Luke and I just came in from flinging a few.   :D

Kenny,don't be surprised if he is in the truck with me this fall when I pull into your drive.  He don't think I am supposed to do any huntin without him.  Maybe he can show Darrell how to kill em.
