Post by: Schmidtster on July 28, 2012, 01:30:00 AM
Hey here is my latest/second successful bow. the one in between this one broke. This one is 52" knock to knock 54" overall with 16" working limbs. The handle is wrapped with duck decoy cord with a leather floppy rest, all backed with deer rawhide that ChristopherO a very kind trad member sent me in a givaway. thanks for lookin!

Oh and Sticks I was thinking of making woodies for it I think it would be fun to try, but it came in under hunting weight (30#) so I'm gonna probably just use it for Carp fishin. Mabye after the next one I'll try my hand at making some arrows.
